For event organisers in Fernhurst
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late May in Fernhurst has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A named contact on the day
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
