Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Westcott
Which station is closest to Westcott?
Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 4.2 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Westcott?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you get to rural locations?
Normally, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve quickly on the call.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

- A contact in production
- Access agreed with locations
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Westcott for film and TV crews
Westcott is about 6 miles west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We cater shoots at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Westcott. Westcott is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Westcott to Oxford (14 miles away).
For crew arriving by train, Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 4.2 miles east, is the nearest station. Within reach of Westcott are historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor (0.9 miles east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.
For shoots in HP18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many crew. Local streets include High Street, Lower Green and Ashendon Road; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, daylight in Westcott lasts until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
