Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.

FAQs for Little Ickford
How far is Little Ickford from London?
About 45 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
