Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Godshill
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cater in Godshill?
Yes, Godshill is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A heads-up for next door
- Parking close to the house
Godshill is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
