About our party hog roast in Ibthorpe
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. For milestone birthdays and back-garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes and more.
Country parties near Ibthorpe suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Travel to Ibthorpe
- Crockery choices
- Numbers

A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Sunset in Ibthorpe is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Think about children’s portions

At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
