DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Parking near the spot
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Questions from Goddards Green
Is Goddards Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
We are gathering after a service at St Edward the Confessor: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Goddards Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
