The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Ifield is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Questions from Ifield
Can you do a hog roast in Target Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
