Why choose a hog roast in Ickford?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Ickford are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
