How our Christmas hog roast works in Moorstock
Fridays in December go first, so get in touch as soon as you know your date. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for end-of-term celebrations and christmas markets.
In a small place like Moorstock, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Roast turkey can be added.

Questions from Moorstock
Is Moorstock 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.
Which station is closest to Moorstock?
Westenhanger station, about 1.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.

What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
