For planners, venues and organisers

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September sunset in Dormans Park is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
