About our hog roast hire in Maids Moreton
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Maids Moreton, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater work summer parties and weddings and receptions.
Somewhere as small as Maids Moreton, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

FAQs for Maids Moreton
Is Maids Moreton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Edmund: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
