Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Christmas hog roast in Westwood, carved to order
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Westwood. Whether it’s christmas family parties and december open days, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce and more.
In winter near Westwood, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like

At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.

Can you do a hog roast in Longfield Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater in Westwood?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas parties in Westwood are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:50pm in December. 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 venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
