Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter afternoons in Northease are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive

Northease questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Lewes and Laughton Levels?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What allergens are in the food?
You will get allergen details for everything. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Sign-off from management
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
