How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. For a summer hog roast day in Inner Avenue, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your residents

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
