Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and work summer parties, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Goddington come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Goddington, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan

Goddington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Goddington questions
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cater across Greater London, including Goddington. Ask for a quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
For event organisers in Goddington
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
