Your questions about a hog roast day in Udimore
Can you roast near the sea around Udimore?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Udimore close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Where will the roaster go?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What allergens are in the food?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing normally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What comes off the roaster

Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In summer, Udimore has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe 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.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count families and staff too
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Serving on plates is often easier.
