How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Sunset in Moortown is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:05pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Moortown
Can you cater after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Moortown 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.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Should I cook it myself?
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 bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
