About our hog roast hire in Goose Green
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include salads, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater community events and summer garden parties.
For a rural spot like Goose Green, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Dunstan: 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.

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
