Day centres and retirement housing near Redlands also book us, for themed days and gatherings. On the menu are roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for garden fêtes and days for relatives.
Rural homes around Redlands may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late May in Redlands has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- 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.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
