A hog roast near Goose Green
How our Christmas hog roast works in Goose Green
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Typical bookings include year-end thank-yous and christmas family parties, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast turkey.
In a small place like Goose Green, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Common questions in Goose Green
How far is Goose Green from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Is Goose Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Vehicle access close by
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order for a festive feel.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
