Hog roast for events near Bishop's Waltham
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We’re frequently asked to cater charity fundraisers and vintage rallies, serving a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
Summer fairs around Bishop's Waltham are frequently run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
