What else we do in Westwood
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request thin slices
- Count residents who need an alternative
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
China crockery is available on request.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Westwood
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
