The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count families and staff too
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer hog roast day in Crawley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
