What we serve, dish by dish

What else we do in Westridge
For event organisers in Westridge
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Westridge, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
