Hog roast hire for Ivychurch
Hog roast hire for your event in Ivychurch
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. For birthdays and anniversaries and clubhouse events, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and crackling for your guests.
In a rural place like Ivychurch, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evenings in Ivychurch stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- 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.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

Ivychurch questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St George?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Ivychurch too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
