Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Summer events in Ibstone have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
