Your questions about a hog roast in Water Eaton
Can you cater after a service at Water Eaton Church Centre?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Waterhall Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you cover Water Eaton?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Is crackling included?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Events we cater in Water Eaton
A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near Water Eaton, such as:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Work summer parties
- Clubhouse events
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
If you had Waterhall Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
Questions to ask before booking
- The space, cover and access they need
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Whether plates or china are included
- VAT, if it applies
