Christmas hog roast in Godshill
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

For a Christmas party near Godshill, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Godshill, December daylight ends around 4:05pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

Godshill: your questions answered
Is Godshill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Roast turkey can be added.
