Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Request thin slices
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
The process
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. Late May in Frensham has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or GU10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
