About our hog roast hire in Ibsley
People book a hog roast in Ibsley for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving.

In a small place like Ibsley, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Who books hog roast hire in Ibsley?

We’re regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around Ibsley, such as:
- Parties at home
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Community events

- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A hog roast compared with other options

Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
