FAQs for Westcott Barton
How far is Westcott Barton from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Westcott Barton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What should we provide?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
