FAQs for Ibthorpe
Do you come out to small places like Ibthorpe?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cater in Ibthorpe?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ibthorpe and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Ibthorpe hosts choose us

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
