About our hog roast hire in South Moreton
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it is garden parties and barbecues and weddings and receptions, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like South Moreton, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

South Moreton: your questions answered
Is South Moreton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is South Moreton from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Light matters for a long roast: in South Moreton, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
