What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Why choose a hog roast in Westcot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
