Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.

- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Westbrook in December: what to know
Westbrook is about 1 mile west of Margate, in Kent. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Westbrook. Westbrook is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Westbrook to Canterbury (14 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of All Saints draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Garlinge Primary School and Nursery gets dark early, so hot food is popular. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
This part of Kent takes in CT9, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Bridge Road, Caxton Road and Albert Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Garlinge (1 mile south-west), Margate (1 mile east), Westgate-on-Sea (1 mile west), Flete (2 miles south) and Westwood (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (14 miles south-west), Ramsgate (4 miles south-east), Broadstairs (3 miles south-east), Whitstable (14 miles west), Deal (12 miles south) and Herne Bay (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Margate West (0.6 miles west) and Westwood Cross (2.3 miles south-east). The countryside around Westbrook includes Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Nearby schools include Hartsdown Academy (under half a mile south-east)
- Pubs nearby include Cinque Ports Public House (0.6 miles east)

Is Westbrook close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

When should we book?

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
