Your questions about a hog roast in Gosford
Is Gosford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Gosford?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you cater in Gosford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Gosford and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How does hog roast hire work?
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.
Hog roast hire in Gosford, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. For staff days and open days and sports clubs and societies, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Gosford, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Gosford?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evenings in Gosford stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

Working with your venue

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
