Questions from Westgate-on-Sea
Is Westgate-on-Sea close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Can you come to a school fair in Westgate-on-Sea?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
We are happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Westgate-on-Sea

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, events in Westgate-on-Sea stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
