A hog roast near Whitchurch
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
About our hog roast for events in Whitchurch
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Whitchurch. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. On the menu are crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater fun runs and sports events and car and steam shows.
For events in a place like Whitchurch, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A hog roast does that. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Late-September events in Whitchurch lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
