FAQs for Fyfield
How far is Fyfield from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Fyfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you serve at lunch?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
