West Heath: your questions answered
How far is West Heath from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.

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.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
