Your Local Hog Roast Catering Company

Taste the Cracklin

We get great pride in being a catering company in Radstock, William Smith FGS was The Founder of English Geology in North Somerset and being able to provide a traditional catering service in such a historic area makes the toughest of jobs worthwhile.

Many years ago (hundreds in fact) William Smith FGS moved to Radstock and he was soon to become the founder of Geology for his study of fossils and strata. In 1799 he made his study into a map of his findings. He worked for the Somerset Coal Canal Company on the canal venture and is important as it was a coal mining town at the time.

If coal mining isn’t your thing try the sobriety of the Wesley brothers who bought Methodism to North Somerset. They set up meeting houses in the town from 1739 to 1789. Their lively preaching and conviction for labourers or colliers gave them a break from a hard mining tradition.

In the past few hundred year, the town has changed a lot since with a lot of that history to be found at Radstock Museum which tells the history of the Coal Mines and their social history in the area in the 1800s.

These days, Taste the Cracklin is attempting to carve it’s own piece of history with our Hog roast catering services. The cooking process for a whole pig can take round 6 hours of slow cooking. What this ultimately gives us a crispy sheen on the pig and lots of tasty and juicy pork, with enough meat to feed around 120 people.
