Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Ifold
Is Ifold close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Ifold too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in Ifold ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
