For event organisers in Westfield
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Westfield
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Westfield questions
How far is Westfield from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Hoe Valley Linear Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you come to Westfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Westfield and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
