Common questions in Westgate-on-Sea
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Which station is closest to Westgate-on-Sea?
Westgate-On-Sea station, in Westgate-on-Sea itself.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
