The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Goddards Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
