The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Stone Cross, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day

Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
