At a rural home near Stuckton, access matters. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Stuckton
Is Stuckton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Families and staff are welcome.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates are frequently easier for residents.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Late May in Stuckton has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
