Hog roast for events near Westcott
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. We are frequently asked to cater charity days and fun runs and sports events, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Near Westcott, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an autumn event in Westcott, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
