Care home hog roast in Westmarsh
How our care home hog roast works in Westmarsh
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us. Typical bookings include anniversaries of the home and open afternoons, serving thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Rural homes around Westmarsh may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Questions from Westmarsh
Which station is closest to Westmarsh?
The closest is Minster station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Westmarsh?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing normally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Westmarsh, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
