How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In summer, Ryeish Green has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Pearman's Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
What about texture-modified diets?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
