Slow-roasted pork in Goldsworth Park
About our hog roast hire in Goldsworth Park
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Goldsworth Park: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it’s club events and presentations and big birthdays and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
A place like Goldsworth Park frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Evenings in Goldsworth Park stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Timed around your day
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Common questions in Goldsworth Park
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Goldsworth Park?
Woking station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
For event organisers in Goldsworth Park
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
