Ilmer questions
Is Ilmer close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Ilmer?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Why choose a hog roast in Ilmer?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
