Party hog roast in Westcott, carved to order
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. For family reunions and engagement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
A country party near Westcott is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

The process

- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Westcott: your questions answered
Is Westcott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St John's Community Hall?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
