- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Questions from Westley
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Stephen?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Westley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Westley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Westley and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Why choose a hog roast in Westley?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Westley hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
