Ibsley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Ibsley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A word with the neighbours
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, it is light in Ibsley until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
