The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In late May, sunset in Sutton is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
