Hog roast for events for Goddington
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- A clear quote with everything listed

Common questions in Goddington
Do you trade at school fairs around Goddington?

Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Can you sell directly to visitors?

Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, events in Goddington stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
