Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Westcott
How far is Westcott from London?
About 22 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For a staff lunch in Westcott, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
