How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Upper Eashing, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We clear away quietly.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
