FAQs for Ifold
How far is Ifold from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Ifold?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
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.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.

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. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Ifold is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
