Peasmarsh: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Peasmarsh?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Peasmarsh?
Shalford station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cover Peasmarsh?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families.
A closer look at the menu

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer hog roast day in Peasmarsh, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- 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
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Numbers
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or GU3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
