How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Wadhurst is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
