The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A spot that keeps access clear
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast pork, carved
- Roast potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- New potatoes
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late May in Badshot Lea has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
