Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.
Hog roast for events in Godden Green, carved to order

At a field event near Godden Green, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

Catered or do it yourself?
