Upper Ifield questions
Do you come out to small places like Upper Ifield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Shorne Woods Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, with plates or china.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Upper Ifield usually finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.

- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
