The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Winter afternoons in Westcot are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
How to get a price

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A named contact on the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
