Westbere: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Westbere?
The closest is Sturry station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Westbere?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Do you cover Westbere?
Yes, Westbere is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
