Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn parties in Irons Bottom get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.

Irons Bottom questions
Is Irons Bottom too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

After a christening at a church like Emmanuel Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
