For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
About our care home hog roast in Tile Hurst
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement housing events and open afternoons.
Country homes near Tile Hurst often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Tile Hurst: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Tile Hurst?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Tile Hurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will share allergen and menu details.
What allergens are in the food?
You will get allergen details for everything. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you serve at lunch?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll be ready.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late May in Tile Hurst has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Request thin slices
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
