Hog roast for events near Westmeston
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Whether it’s small festivals and community days and street fairs, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Westmeston might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer events in Westmeston have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
