Your questions about a hog roast day in Bailey Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Bailey Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer hog roast day in Bailey Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
