Hog roast for events near Ibworth
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. For tournaments and sports days and PTA summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Rural events near Ibworth can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
