Film set catering in Ibworth, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Popular choices include new potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for countryside locations and milestone days on set.
Near Ibworth, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Ibworth
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Working with your venue

Why choose a hog roast in Ibworth?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Before you choose a spot

- The location manager’s agreement
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A route for our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
