Organising for someone else?

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Do you trade at school fairs around Ipsden?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What we serve, dish by dish

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Summer events in Ipsden have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
