Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your care home event in Ningwood. For a summer hog roast day in Ningwood, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

What affects the price in Ningwood
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
