Hog roast for events in Ickenham
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules

Send us the date, the address or UB10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Hog roast for events in Ickenham, slow-roasted on site
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast. For school fairs and sports days and community days and street fairs, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
In Ickenham, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Ickenham: your questions answered
Could you cook in Church Field Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ickenham?
Often, 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 be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
We’re happy to talk it through.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Fairs, fêtes and events in Ickenham
Ickenham is about 1 mile north of Hillingdon, in Greater London. A hog roast suits events around Ickenham, whatever the venue. We bring hog roasts to 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Ickenham to London (about 16 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, West Ruislip station, about 0.9 miles north-east, is the nearest station. If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as The Douay Martyrs Catholic School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.
We cater events across the UB10 postcode area and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as Long Lane, Court Road and The Avenue, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Ickenham, we also cover Hillingdon (1 mile south), Ruislip Gardens (2 miles east), New Denham (2 miles west), Newyears Green (2 miles north) and Uxbridge (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in City of Westminster (13 miles east), Marylebone (13 miles east), Kensington (11 miles east), St Pancras (14 miles east), Hampstead (12 miles east) and Brompton (13 miles east).

- Local pubs include The Tichenham Inn (0.5 miles north)
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-May events in Ickenham have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch with firm ground
Ickenham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
