How hog roast hire works in IG1
In IG1, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include christmas parties and community events, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.

A hog roast across IG1: what to know
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in IG1, so whether your event is in Ilford, Loxford and Manor Park or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Ilford: For guests coming by train, Ilford station is in Ilford itself. Thinking of a hog roast in South Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Evenings in Ilford stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Is a hog roast right for you?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Questions to ask before you book
- Any travel or access charges
- Plates, china and cutlery
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
