How our hog roast for events works in Laddingford

For a village fête or field event near Laddingford, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
What affects the price in Laddingford
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
