Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer events in Westwell have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
