About our hog roast for events in Westley
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. For school fairs and sports days and town and village days, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
At a fête or show near Westley, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.

Westley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Westley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you come to a school fair in Westley?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Can you come to our fête?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A hog roast compared with other options

- No surprises: everything in writing

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-May events in Westley have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A level pitch with firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
