FAQs for Westbourne
What’s the nearest station to Westbourne?
Emsworth station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Staffing on the day
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- The space, cover and access they need
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Why choose a hog roast in Westbourne?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At a December wedding in Westbourne, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
