How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Goddard's Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
