What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- An activities lead or manager as contact
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter afternoons in Shalstone are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
