It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In late May, sunset in Lake End is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Request thin slices
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
