Hog roast for events near Titchfield Common

Summer fairs around Titchfield Common are often run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
