Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Godstow: your questions answered
Is Godstow close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Is Godstow 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.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
