Hog roast for events in Little Ickford, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For vintage rallies and horse and dog shows, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls and more.
At a field event near Little Ickford, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. 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.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In late May, sunset in Little Ickford is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

What affects the price in Little Ickford
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
