Hog roast hire in Goosey, slow-roasted on site
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. On the menu are crackling, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and community events.
Somewhere as small as Goosey, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Goosey hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Questions from Goosey
Is Goosey close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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. Send us the address.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you cover Goosey?
Yes, Goosey is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Goosey, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your guests

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce

Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
