Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Corporate hog roast in Westwood, carved to order
Sites generally have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. For client hospitality and staff summer days, we can cook salads, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.
For businesses around Westwood, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Westwood, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
