Hog roast for events in Loughton, carved to order
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re often booked for fundraising events and church and village fêtes.
Events near Loughton are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Loughton hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for

Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
