How our hog roast for events works in Woodford Wells
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Typical bookings include charity days and tournaments and sports days, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
In Woodford Wells, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
