Care home hog roast in Aperfield, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. We’re often asked to cater garden fêtes and open afternoons, with apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In Aperfield, we cook in the home’s garden or car park, as agreed with the manager. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in Aperfield
What if our house in Aperfield has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What’s the nearest station to Aperfield?
Oxted station, about 4 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Where will the roaster go?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
