The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Approval from the home
- Away from opening windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late May, sunset in Stanmer is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
