What else we do in Westdean
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
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 named contact on the day
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
