Hog Roast Catering in County Durham

County Durham has its own way of celebrating – from gatherings in historic Durham city to laid-back parties in towns like Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Newton Aycliffe, Seaham, Consett and Stanley. Taste The Cracklin brings hog roast catering that fits right in: generous food, friendly service and the unmistakable aroma of meat slowly turning on the spit.

At each event we cook on-site from scratch, managing the roasting, carving and serving so guests simply walk up and enjoy freshly prepared food. Classic hog roast rolls with crackling and sauces, or more complete menus with sides and salads – you choose the level of catering, we take care of the timings and the hard work.

Local Roots, National Reach

Events in County Durham come in all shapes and sizes: city get-togethers in Durham, local celebrations around Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street and Newton Aycliffe, and village or community events across the surrounding countryside. Our hog roast teams are used to working across the county, adapting to different venues, access and guest numbers.

We work with trusted butchers and regional suppliers to source quality meats and fresh produce, so the food we serve reflects the North East’s strong food and farming traditions. The focus is always on slow roasting, good portions and straightforward, crowd-pleasing menus that suit relaxed, sociable events.

On the day, we keep the catering side calm and organised. We arrive in good time, set up neatly, serve at the agreed time and leave the area tidy once service is finished – so you can enjoy your County Durham event while the food quietly takes care of itself.

Hog Roast Menus to Suit Every Taste in County Durham

Every event has a slightly different feel, so we give you more than one way to enjoy a hog roast. Our menus include pork, lamb, beef and chicken, along with vegetarian and vegan mains, salads, hot sides and desserts, so you can plan food that works for your guest list and your format.

For wedding days and more formal occasions, we can build menus that run from arrival nibbles through to later-evening food, with a hog roast as the main feature or as part of a wider selection. For birthday parties, staff gatherings, club events and community days across County Durham, a classic hog roast with plenty of sides offers an easy, sociable option that fills people up without complicating the day.

Once you’ve chosen the style that suits your event, we’ll organise the cooking schedule, on-site setup and service, making sure everything runs smoothly from the first slice of crackling to the last plate served.
