Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Winter afternoons in Cranham are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
