A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In late May, sunset in New Hythe is about 8:50pm, 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Questions from New Hythe
Is New Hythe too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What time do you serve?
Choose the time, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will share allergen and menu details.

About the food
