How our Christmas hog roast works in Westbourne
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Westbourne. Typical bookings include end-of-year team celebrations and festive open evenings, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
For a Christmas party near Westbourne, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Sunset in Westbourne in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
