Questions from New Romney
How far is New Romney from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll give your team the information they need.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. By late September, the light in New Romney goes at about 7:00pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- 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.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
