How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Hog roast for events near Godinton
Agricultural shows and country events near Godinton are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for school events and community events.
Events near Godinton are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Common questions in Godinton
Is Godinton close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
