What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer hog roast day in Newell Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe 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.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
