What comes off the roaster

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: 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 Widmore has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Widmore
Could you cook in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
