Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level spot in the garden or car park

- Away from opening windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Organising for someone else?

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Questions from Lickfold
How far is Lickfold from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Lickfold?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
