The Moor: your questions answered
Could you cook in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like The Moor?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
Do you cover The Moor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including The Moor and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact on site for the day.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In The Moor, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
