The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September sunset in Forest Park is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
