Christmas hog roast in Westenhanger, slow-roasted on site
Festive events of all kinds around Westenhanger suit a hog roast, from small teams to big crowds. On the menu are roast turkey, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater staff Christmas do’s and new Year parties.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A short route for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
