What’s the nearest station to Sibertswold?

How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you carve thinly?
We will serve however suits your residents.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In late May, sunset in Sibertswold is about 8:45pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day
