How our wedding hog roast works in Godshill
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Whether it is farm weddings and marquee receptions, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Godshill have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Godshill questions
Which station is closest to Godshill?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Is Godshill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
Godshill is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Godshill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm 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 is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
