About our party hog roast in Westbourne
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Westbourne, then carve at the time you choose, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. We serve crackling, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater reunions and christenings and naming days.
In a small place like Westbourne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Westbourne parties: what to know
Westbourne is about 3 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Westbourne. We cater 371 places across West Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from Westbourne to Southampton (21 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St John the Baptist's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Among the historic houses close to Westbourne are Warblington Castle (2.2 miles south-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of Westbourne, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Parties anywhere in PO10 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. From The Square, Church Road and Crockford Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. For parties just outside Westbourne, we cover Lumley (1 mile south), Woodmancote (1 mile east), Emsworth (1 mile south-west), Southbourne (1 mile south-east) and Denvilles (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (12 miles south-east), Chichester (7 miles east), Selsey (11 miles south-east), Portfield (7 miles east), Yapton (14 miles east) and East Wittering (7 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Warblington Castle (2.2 miles south-west) and Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles west). Open spaces near Westbourne include Stoke Down and Brook Meadow (Emsworth).
- Schools near Westbourne include Bourne Community College (1 mile south-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Good Intent Public House (within half a mile north-west)
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an evening party in Westbourne, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Westbourne questions
Which station is closest to Westbourne?
Emsworth station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
