Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late May in Little London has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
