Hog roast for events for Cores End
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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How our hog roast for events works in Cores End
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. We’re often asked to cater church and village fêtes and vintage rallies, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Cores End might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. 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.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
