- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Halal is not offered
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
