What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A named contact on the day
- A level spot in the garden or car park
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, 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 Hassocks has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- 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.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
