Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Stratton Audley, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
