How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September sunset in Chapel Row is about 7:00pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- 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.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
What affects the price in Chapel Row
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
We clear away quietly.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
