Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. For a summer hog roast day in Uckfield, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- 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.
- 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
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
