Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Godstone
How far is Godstone from London?
About 17 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you cover Godstone?
Yes, Godstone is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Godstone
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A way in for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
