Questions from Westwood
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Longfield Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you cover Westwood?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
What will our event need from you?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan visitors can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, events in Westwood stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or DA13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
