Book a hog roast in Westmarsh
How our hog roast hire works in Westmarsh
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and staff days and open days.
In a small place like Westmarsh, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset in Westmarsh is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You share the when, where and how many.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Planned to your running order
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.

- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
