About the food

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
A hog roast compared with other options
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer hog roast day in Beacon's Bottom, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
