How our care home hog roast works in Avisford
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. Whether it’s anniversaries of the home and garden fêtes, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes.
Rural homes around Avisford may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In summer, Avisford has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.

Questions from Avisford
Is Avisford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Avisford?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
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 cover Avisford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Avisford and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
