How our Christmas hog roast works in Westmarsh
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. For family Christmas gatherings and office Christmas parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
For a Christmas party near Westmarsh, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Site access
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. By about 3:50pm in late December, Westmarsh is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
