How our corporate hog roast works in Godstone
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for team-building days and family fun days.
Rural businesses around Godstone can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Timed around your day
- All the equipment comes with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We’ll sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
What affects the price in Godstone
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. After-work summer events in Godstone have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
