Planning an event in Godden Green?
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Wedding hog roast near Godden Green
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include rustic barn receptions and late-night wedding food, with salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
There is something special about a country wedding near Godden Green, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Godden Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
