Slow-roasted pork in Iping
About our hog roast hire in Iping
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We are often asked to cater club events and presentations and garden parties and barbecues, serving salads, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
In a rural place like Iping, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Iping
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras

Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

The closest is Liphook station, roughly 5 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
