Questions from Steven's Crouch
Is Steven's Crouch too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Do you cover Steven's Crouch?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In summer, Steven's Crouch has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
