The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Woodmancote, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us a contact number for the day
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Request thin slices
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We clear away quietly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A named contact on the day

FAQs for Woodmancote
Can you do a hog roast in Stansted Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Woodmancote?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Woodmancote and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
