Party hog roast in Ibworth
Party hog roast in Ibworth, slow-roasted on site
After a christening near Ibworth, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Typical bookings include wedding anniversaries and close and cul-de-sac parties, with a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and crackling.
In a small place like Ibworth, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Ibworth is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Ibworth: your questions answered
Is Ibworth close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Ibworth?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you cover Ibworth?
Yes, Ibworth is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A heads-up for next door
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Ibworth
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:

- What the outdoor space is like

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
