How care home hog roast works in Southampton

For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include families’ days and summer fêtes, with rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and new potatoes.

The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting.

The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Afterwards we pack up quietly.

Cost

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Hog roast days across Southampton

Across Southampton, care homes, retirement housing and day centres book hog roast days. 40 of the places we cover in Southampton are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Southampton: Visitors arriving by train should know that there is a station right in Southampton: St Denys station. Volunteers from churches such as Saint Mary's sometimes help at care home events, and a hog roast day can bring everyone together. Late-September sunset in Southampton is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.

About the food

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Rotisserie chicken

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.

For planners, venues and organisers

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

Tell us who does not eat pork
Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Request thin slices
Stuffing normally contains gluten

Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.

Serving on plates is often easier.

Prices and what affects them

There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:

Travel to Southampton
How easy it is to reach the spot
How many people are eating
Which meats and sides you choose

Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Common questions in Southampton

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

How long does the roast need?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

How much will it be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

Where does the hog roast go?

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.

What do you need from us on the day?

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Can you serve at lunch?

Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.

Can families and staff join in?

Of course: include them in your numbers.
