Slow-roasted pork in Westdean
About our Christmas hog roast in Westdean
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. On the menu are apple sauce, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff Christmas do’s and society Christmas socials.
In winter near Westdean, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Planning help
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: fill in our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Westdean hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
