DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Common questions in South Godstone
Could you cook in Tilburstow Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around South Godstone?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you do charity events?
Contact us and we’ll see what’s possible.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late-May events in South Godstone have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
