Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Carved to order by a chef
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, it is light in Goddard's Green until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Goddard's Green
Is Goddard's Green 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.
What’s the nearest station to Goddard's Green?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater in Goddard's Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Goddard's Green and the rest of West Berkshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Parking close to the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
