Care home hog roast in Fulking, carved to order
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For day centre lunches and summer fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a rural home near Fulking, access matters. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

FAQs for Fulking
Is Fulking too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Fulking?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
