Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- The serving time and how long we’re on site

Why choose a hog roast in Watchmoor?
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Watchmoor hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
Take a look at our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, events in Watchmoor stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
