How our wedding hog roast works in Goddard's Green
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee and vow renewals and blessings.
A wedding in a small place like Goddard's Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Winter weddings in Goddard's Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book our hog roast in Goddard's Green

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Goddard's Green
How far is Goddard's Green from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Goddard's Green?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
