Slow-roasted pork in Westwell
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For an evening party in Westwell, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Westwell questions
Is Westwell close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Westwell?
Charing station, about 2.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you come to Westwell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Westwell and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A heads-up for next door
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
