Hog roast for events in Ware, carved to order
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and charity fundraisers.
Near Ware, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Late-May events in Ware have light until about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Ware?
At large shows, ask us about the expected crowds early, so we can plan. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
