Godstone: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Godstone?
Godstone station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
How far is Godstone from London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A queuing area
- A level pitch
- Any paperwork the organisers need
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Godstone is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
