Slow-roasted pork in Godshill
Godshill: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at St Giles?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What space does the roaster 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.
How our party hog roast works in Godshill
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We’re frequently asked to cater reunions and naming ceremonies, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Godshill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Why choose a hog roast in Godshill?
Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Godshill hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

How we price a hog roast for your party
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or SP6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening parties in Godshill need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
