Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear away quietly.
Chicken can be added.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter afternoons in Selsey are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
