How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Westridge until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Common questions in Westridge

Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Who serves?

When should we book?
