For event organisers in Idbury
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Questions from Idbury
Is Idbury too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Idbury?
Kingham station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Why choose a hog roast in Idbury?
