About our hog roast for events in West Heath
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. For country shows and small festivals, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
At a field event near West Heath, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- Travel to West Heath
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

West Heath questions
Is West Heath close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like West Heath?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss the options.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-September events in West Heath lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
