Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count families and staff too
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from opening windows
- Sign-off from management
- Seating for residents
As a London location, Ditton Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, the light in Ditton Hill goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
