What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late May in Foulford has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Common questions in Foulford
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest 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.
Do you come out to small places like Foulford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Families and staff are welcome.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Away from emergency routes
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- An activities lead or manager as contact
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
