Common questions in Westdene
Can you do a hog roast in Withdean and Westdene Woods?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it’s outdoors.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Lunchtime bookings in Westdene are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
