How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Westridge are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access

For event organisers in Westridge
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Light by the serving table
For somewhere as remote as Westridge, early notice helps us plan the trip.
