Party hog roast in Goodley Stock, carved to order
In Goodley Stock, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. We serve and tidy up. For wedding anniversaries and family reunions, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
In a small place like Goodley Stock, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Goodley Stock is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
