Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t 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 Ferring goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare

Questions from Ferring
Can you roast near the sea around Ferring?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
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. Fill in our quote form.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A named contact on the day
- Away from emergency routes

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
