Hog Roast Catering in Shropshire

From hilltop views in the Shropshire Hills to riverside venues in Shrewsbury and historic streets around Ludlow, Shropshire has no shortage of great backdrops for a hog roast. Taste The Cracklin supplies slow-roasted meats, crackling and generous portions for weddings, birthdays, village events and corporate functions across Shrewsbury, Telford, Oswestry, Bridgnorth, Whitchurch and the rest of the county.

Whether you’re planning a relaxed get-together in a village hall, a marquee reception in open fields or a more formal celebration at a country hotel, we bring everything needed to feed your guests properly. The hog is roasted over several hours, carved in front of your guests and served with all the trimmings, while our team quietly keeps the catering running in the background.

Local Roots, National Reach

Shropshire is a big, largely rural county, and many of the events we cater for are tucked away down lanes, at farms or in converted barns. Our teams are used to working with venues that don’t have a traditional kitchen on hand, and we plan ahead for parking, access and set-up so service runs smoothly on the day.

We use reliable butchers and fresh produce suppliers from Shropshire and neighbouring counties, choosing joints that respond well to slow roasting and carve cleanly for a crowd. The same catering team that prepares your hog will manage the cooking and serving, keeping a close eye on temperatures, timing and presentation so everything is safe, hot and inviting.

Before your event we’ll chat through the practicalities – where we can position the roasting machine, how guests will queue, what time you’d like food to be ready and any quirks of the site. On the day we arrive when agreed, set up with minimal disruption, serve your guests efficiently and leave the area tidy once the last plates have been cleared.

Hog Roast Menus to Suit Every Shropshire Event

A summer party in Telford, a festival-style wedding near Church Stretton and a corporate open day in Oswestry all call for slightly different styles of catering. Rather than a single fixed menu, we offer a set of tried-and-tested options that can be shaped around what you’ve got planned.

You might choose a simple hog roast served in soft rolls with crackling, stuffing and sauces – ideal for informal gatherings where people are chatting with a drink in hand. For bigger or more structured occasions, we can add a spread of salads, hot potatoes, extra meats, desserts and lighter evening food so guests are looked after from daytime through to the last song.

Pork is the classic choice, but we’re equally happy roasting lamb, beef, chicken or turkey. We’ll also suggest at least one vegetarian or vegan main and can tweak side dishes so mixed groups can eat together comfortably. Once we know where in Shropshire your event is, how many guests you’re expecting and how you’d like service to work, we’ll outline a menu format that suits and then refine the details with you.
