Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count families and staff too
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A named contact in the home helps on the day.

Your questions about a hog roast day in West Chiltington
Is West Chiltington close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Clear of bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Roast potatoes

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late May in West Chiltington has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- 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
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
