Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Travel to Westerton
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Westerton
Which station is closest to Westerton?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 2.5 miles away.

What about residents who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need our own staff?
