Christmas hog roast in Moor Street
Christmas hog roast in Moor Street, slow-roasted on site
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Moor Street. We’re often asked to cater late-night shopping events and christmas markets, serving hog roast rolls, roast turkey and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Moor Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
