For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late May in East Garston has light until about 9:00pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking 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.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
