Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- No surprises: everything in writing

How we price a hog roast day
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.

Westbourne: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Stansted Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
