What else we do in Westwell Leacon
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it is light in Westwell Leacon until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the roaster
- Rotisserie chicken
- Jacket potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw
- Crackling

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
