A hog roast near Ifieldwood
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How our hog roast hire works in Ifieldwood
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Ifieldwood. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. For work summer parties and christmas fairs, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes and more.
Somewhere like Ifieldwood, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Ifieldwood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
