Hog roast hire for Ickford
Hog roast hire in Ickford, carved to order
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Ickford, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and weddings and receptions.
Somewhere like Ickford, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Ickford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day
Ask for a quote

How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Send us the date, the address or HP18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- Planned to your running order

What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
