Party hog roast near Godalming
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Popular choices include apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement celebrations and getting-engaged parties.
In a place like Godalming, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or GU7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Godalming: your questions answered
Is Godalming close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you cover Godalming?
Yes, Godalming is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
For event organisers in Godalming
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Godalming, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
