Hog roast hire in Godden Green, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We’re frequently asked to cater festive gatherings and weddings and receptions, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Godden Green, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Godden Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Why choose a hog roast in Godden Green?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Bat & Ball station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
