For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. For small festivals and school events, we can cook hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling.
Near Ibsley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Ibsley
Is Ibsley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you need power on site?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to volunteers cooking, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Ibsley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
