Christmas hog roast for Westwood
About our Christmas hog roast in Westwood
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. We are often asked to cater family Christmas gatherings and sports club Christmas do’s, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
In a small place like Westwood, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
