Book a hog roast in Ifold
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Hog roast hire in Ifold, carved to order
In Ifold, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Typical bookings include corporate events and milestone birthdays, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
In a small place like Ifold, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Bringing a hog roast to Ifold
Ifold is about 9 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Our roaster is a regular sight at events around Ifold, from gardens to fields. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 12 miles away.
Churches such as St John the Baptist rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does.
Events anywhere in RH14 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. That could mean an event in a garden on Birchwood Close, The Drive and Wildacre Close, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Other places close to Ifold we cover include Loxwood (1 mile north-east), Plaistow (1 mile west), Alfold Bars (2 miles north-east), Mackerel's Common (2 miles south) and Durfold Wood (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (15 miles east), Horsham (9 miles east), Broadfield (14 miles east), Storrington (11 miles south), Billingshurst (5 miles south-east) and Bewbush (14 miles east).
Within reach you’ll find Shillinglee Lake.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
FAQs for Ifold
Is Ifold too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you travel across West Sussex?
All of West Sussex is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Ifold is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
