Hog roast for events in Waltham St Lawrence

For a village fête or field event near Waltham St Lawrence, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
