About our hog roast for events in Westwell Leacon
Charity fundraisers in Westwell Leacon can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. Typical bookings include town and village days and horse and dog shows, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling.
At a field event near Westwell Leacon, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Balance the food line-up
- Make the stall easy to find
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, Westwell Leacon is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
