How we price a hog roast day

- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late May in Hastings has light until about 8:45pm, 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
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
