Party hog roast for Westdene
Party hog roast in Westdene, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays.
In a place like Westdene, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Westdene: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Westdene?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Withdean and Westdene Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
Do you cover Westdene?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Westdene and the rest of Brighton and Hove included. Send us the address for a quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
