Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer events in Ifold have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Getting a price

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Other occasions in Ifold
Ifold: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Ifold?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Ifold close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
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.
What paperwork do you provide?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

- Any paperwork the organisers need
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
