About Us

Yorkshire food. Made with love.

Trufflehunters has been catering events across North Yorkshire since 2008. We started as a hog roast specialist and we're still proud to do it better than anyone else in the county.

Our meat comes from local farmers we know and trust. Our crackling is legendary. And our horsebox bar — stocked with 120+ gins and the best Yorkshire craft beers — has become a bit of a talking point at every event we do.

We're based in Harrogate. We're approachable, professional and we genuinely love what we do.

Good to Know

Hog roast hire — your questions answered.

How much does hog roast hire cost?

Our hog roast packages start at £15 per head and that figure is fully inclusive — the pork, crackling, fresh rolls, stuffing, apple sauce, coleslaw, salads and roast potatoes, plus crockery, cutlery, serving ware, gazebo, chefs and serving staff. There are no surprise add-ons, and we send a fixed written quote before you commit.

Do you do hog roasts for weddings?

Yes — weddings are a big part of what we do, from tipi receptions and barn feasts to marquees in a field at home. A hog roast works particularly well as a relaxed wedding breakfast or as evening food after a sit-down meal. You can see the detail on our hog roast and BBQ wedding page.

What is included in the price?

Fresh local hog, pig or BBQ meat; all sides including salads, coleslaw and potatoes; rolls, stuffing and a crackling board; sauces and condiments; all cooking equipment and a gazebo; crockery, cutlery and serving ware; professional chefs and serving staff; setup, service and full clear-down; vegetarian and vegan options; and public liability insurance.

How many guests can you cater for?

We regularly cook for anything from 40 guests at a garden party up to several hundred at a marquee wedding or corporate event, and we have fed festival crowds and construction crews too. Tell us your numbers and we will size the roast and the staffing to match.

What happens if it rains?

The roast is cooked under our own gazebo, which is part of the package rather than an extra, so a wet Yorkshire afternoon does not stop service. We will talk through where the machine sits and how guests get served when we plan your layout.

Do you offer vegetarian and vegan options?

Always. Vegetarian and vegan mains are included as standard alongside the hog roast or BBQ, together with the full spread of sides and salads, so nobody is left picking at a side plate.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Ripon and cover Harrogate, York, Leeds, Knaresborough, Wetherby, Ripon, Skipton, Ilkley, Bradford, Thirsk, Northallerton, Richmond, Helmsley and the Dales — effectively anywhere within about an hour of Ripon, and further for larger events.

How far in advance should we book?

Peak-season Saturdays from May to September tend to go 6 to 12 months ahead. Parties, corporate events and midweek dates can often be arranged at much shorter notice, so it is always worth asking.
