How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, events in Ifieldwood stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- 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 down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
