Wedding hog roast in Moortown, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. For evening food after the first dance and vow renewals and blessings, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork and more.
Rural weddings around Moortown have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Common questions in Moortown
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Moortown too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A way in for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
For somewhere as remote as Moortown, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
