Christmas hog roast for Westwood
How our Christmas hog roast works in Westwood
Festive events of all kinds around Westwood suit a hog roast. We serve roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater work Christmas parties and festive open evenings.
For a Christmas get-together near Westwood, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A short route for our equipment
- Clearance from walls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve

- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls

The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Westwood, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
