Our hog roast service in Hatfield
Hatfield has two faces. Old Hatfield clusters around the church and the gates of Hatfield House on the hill, where Elizabeth I spent much of her childhood. The new town, built after the war, spread out around the aircraft industry that once dominated the area; the old aerodrome has since become a business park and the site of the University of Hertfordshire's de Havilland campus.
Those layers — heritage, business and a large student population — give us an unusually varied mix of events. Hog roast Hatfield bookings are cooked on site, carved to order and served by our own staff, with sides and sauces included.
We cater across Hatfield as part of our hog roast catering in Hertfordshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Hatfield
The University of Hertfordshire brings society events, sports club socials and end-of-year celebrations, which suit a BBQ with plenty of vegetarian and vegan choice. The business park on the old airfield hosts company summer parties and team events. Private parties come from the residential areas and from villages such as Welham Green, Brookmans Park, Essendon and Colney Heath, where there's more room outdoors.
The A1(M) runs through the town in a tunnel section, and access to business sites is generally good. Around the campuses and some residential streets parking is controlled, so we'll check permits and loading arrangements.

BBQ catering in Hatfield
For events in Hatfield with a mixed crowd or a tight serving window, we often suggest a BBQ, either on its own or running alongside the hog roast. Two serving points shorten the queue and give everyone more to choose from.
For university events, a BBQ with plant-based sausages, veggie burgers and halloumi alongside the meat options keeps a mixed student crowd well fed.

Wedding hog roasts
Couples in and around Hatfield often marry in the countryside towards Essendon or Brookmans Park. A hog roast with lamb works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast, and we're equally happy just to serve evening food after a formal meal.

Birthday party catering · Catering for parties at homeWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Nothing is carved in advance and left to sit. The pig goes on hours before service, fills the air with the smell of roasting pork, and is carved fresh for every guest with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce.
Hog roast menuLamb roast
Lamb works as the only roast or alongside pork. We carve it at the counter and serve it with mint sauce, herby salads and breads — a popular choice for summer weddings.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Grill favourites cooked to order: burgers, sausages, chicken thighs, halloumi skewers and vegan sausages, all served with rolls and a full sauce line-up.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
The sides make the meal. Choose from homemade coleslaw, mixed leaf salad, tomato and red onion salad, potato salad and pasta salad, plus fries, sweet potato fries or buttered new potatoes cooked on site. Fresh rolls, breads and a proper sauce table come as standard.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Most Hatfield events have guests who don't eat pork, and many have vegetarians, vegans and people with allergies. We cook meat-free dishes separately when asked, label every dish, and can build a pork-free menu around lamb or the BBQ. Our allergen information explains what we can and can't guarantee.
