Wedding hog roast in Godshill
How our wedding hog roast works in Godshill
For a relaxed wedding in Godshill, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for rustic barn receptions and marquee weddings.
Near Godshill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in Godshill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:05pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
