Slow-roasted pork in Moor Street
Hog roast for events in Moor Street, slow-roasted on site
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For summer fêtes and charity fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and apple sauce for your visitors.
At a field event near Moor Street, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Halal isn’t offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We carve to order through the agreed hours.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer events in Moor Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
