Common questions in Tangmere
Is Tangmere close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How our care home hog roast works in Tangmere
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Typical bookings include thank-you meals for staff and community open days, with roast potatoes, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
