How our hog roast hire works in Singlewell or Ifield
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Whether it’s wedding breakfasts and evening food and staff days and open days, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and new potatoes for your guests.
In a rural place like Singlewell or Ifield, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
