Organising for someone else?

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Care home hog roast in Outwood, slow-roasted on site
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Outwood suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. Whether it is open afternoons and retirement community days, we can cook halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a rural home near Outwood, access matters so we can plan our route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Outwood, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
