How our party hog roast works in Westwood
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. We’re often asked to cater wedding anniversaries and engagement parties, serving a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
Near Westwood, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

FAQs for Westwood
Is Westwood too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Westwood?
Longfield station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A spot well away from the house
- A word with the neighbours
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
