Party hog roast near Moorstock

Country parties near Moorstock suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book our hog roast in Moorstock
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn parties in Moorstock get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.

- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.

Hosting a hog roast party in Moorstock
Moorstock is about 4 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Planning a hog roast for your party in Moorstock? We cover the whole area. Moorstock is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Moorstock to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (1.6 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Guests arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Westenhanger station, roughly 1.8 miles south-east of the centre. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Moorstock, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Full catering or machine hire?
