Your questions about a hog roast day in Falmer
Which station is closest to Falmer?
Falmer station, in Falmer itself.
Do you come out to small places like Falmer?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.

It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September sunset in Falmer is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count families and staff too
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
