Care home hog roast in Winchelsea, carved to order
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for seasonal events and staff thank-you lunches.
Near Winchelsea, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Questions from Winchelsea
Is Winchelsea close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Rye Harbour LNR?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
- Halal is not offered
- Count families and staff too
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A named contact on the day
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
