The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

FAQs for Ivybridge
Can you do a hog roast in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ivybridge?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What if people arrive late?
Name someone we can call and we will adjust.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
After a funeral in Ivybridge
Ivybridge is about 1 mile south-east of Hounslow, in Greater London. Our roaster is a regular sight at wakes around Ivybridge. Ivybridge is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Ivybridge to London (11 miles away).
If there isn’t room at home, a hall or club near Ivybridge may suit. If the funeral is at a church such as All Hallows Twickenham, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
For wakes in TW7, TW1 and TW2, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Your wake could be at a house on Hall Road, Rugby Road and Mogden Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. For wakes just outside Ivybridge, we cover Hounslow (1 mile north-west), Woodlands (1 mile north), Twickenham (1 mile south), Isleworth (1 mile north-east) and St Margarets (1 mile east).

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-December sunset in Ivybridge is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space inside for guests
- A safe distance from the hall
As a London location, Ivybridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
