Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer hog roast day in Rodmell, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- 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 pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved to order by a chef
- An itemised quote
