About our party hog roast in Ilmer
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. On the menu are coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes, and typical bookings are for naming ceremonies and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Ilmer, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. A summer party in Ilmer stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A hog roast compared with other options
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
