Ibworth questions
How far is Ibworth from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Ibworth?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we book for a business?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we will explain the booking terms.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.

Planning help
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
