Hog roast hire for your event in Moor Street
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Whether it is community events and weddings and receptions, we can cook hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.
In a hamlet or village like Moor Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Your questions about a hog roast in Moor Street
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Moor Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Around midsummer it stays light in Moor Street until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
