How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late May in Barcombe has light until about 8:50pm, 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Barcombe questions
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Barcombe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve at lunch?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you provide allergen information?
Allergen details are provided.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Someone to meet us
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
