Hog roast hire in Moortown, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
For a rural spot like Moortown, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Common questions in Moortown
Is Moortown too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you cover Moortown?
Yes, Moortown is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Moortown hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Moortown, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
