About our care home hog roast in Southwick
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and seasonal events, serving halloumi skewers, new potatoes and roast potatoes.
Around Southwick, homes often have a garden and drive. Let us know about the way in. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Questions from Southwick
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.
What allergens are in the food?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In summer, Southwick has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Why choose a hog roast in Southwick?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Southwick hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
See how we price or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We clear away quietly.
China crockery is available on request.
