About our hog roast for events in Ivychurch
Country shows near Ivychurch suit a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater school fairs and sports days and agricultural and country shows.
At a fête or show near Ivychurch, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. 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.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Planned to your running order

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The number of people
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer events in Ivychurch have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
