Hog Roast Catering in Herefordshire

Herefordshire’s orchards, farmsteads and market towns are ideal settings for relaxed, sociable events – and a hog roast fits right in. Taste The Cracklin provides slow-roasted meats, crisp crackling and hearty portions for weddings, parties and corporate occasions in Hereford, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Leominster, Bromyard, Kington and across the county.

Whether you’re hosting a rustic barn wedding, a birthday in a village hall or a summer get-together in the garden, we bring everything needed to feed your guests well. The hog is roasted slowly, carved on site and served with all the trimmings, while our team quietly keeps the catering running so you can focus on enjoying the day.

Local Roots, National Reach

Herefordshire is very much working countryside – orchards, farmyards, old barns and village greens – and a lot of our hog roasts here take place well away from standard hotel function rooms. We’re used to following postcode directions down single-track lanes, setting up in farm courtyards and working around whatever the landscape throws at us.

For ingredients, we lean on butchers and produce suppliers in and around the county, choosing joints that stand up to long, slow roasting and carve well for a hungry crowd. The same team that prepares your hog will be there on the day to manage the roasting, carving and service, keeping an eye on temperatures, timing and presentation so everything feels relaxed but properly looked after.

In the run-up to your event we’ll run through the practicalities – where we can park, how far we need to carry equipment, what space you have for serving and how your timings are likely to work. On the day we turn up when agreed, set up with minimal fuss, feed your guests and pack everything away again, leaving you with happy guests and one less thing to worry about.

Hog Roast Menus to Suit Every Herefordshire Event

Events in Herefordshire can be anything from a relaxed gathering by the River Wye to a formal celebration in a country hotel – so it wouldn’t make sense to offer a one-size-fits-all menu. Instead, we start with a few proven menu styles and adapt them to the way you want your day to run.

Some hosts are looking for a straightforward hog roast in soft rolls with crackling, stuffing and sauces – perfect for informal parties and outdoor events. Others want a broader spread with salads, hot potatoes, desserts and perhaps a lighter evening option once the music starts. We can also add canapés, sharing boards or plated courses if you’re planning something more structured.

Pork is the classic choice, but we can just as easily roast lamb, beef, chicken or turkey. We always offer at least one vegetarian or vegan main and can shape the sides to suit a mixed crowd. Once we know roughly how many people you’re feeding, where in Herefordshire your event is taking place and how you’d like service to feel, we’ll suggest a menu layout that fits – then fine-tune the sides, sauces and sweets so it works for your guests.
