Slow-roasted pork in Moorhouse Bank
Hog roast hire in Moorhouse Bank, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it is birthdays and anniversaries and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, crackling and halloumi skewers and more.
Gardens in Moorhouse Bank tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Moorhouse Bank hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
