Our care home hog roast in Wokingham

We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes. Popular choices include new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for care home summer fairs and anniversaries of the home.

A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.

We start with the date and numbers.
We agree the cooking spot and quote.
The roast starts early.
We serve inside or out.
We clear away quietly.

What it costs in Wokingham

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Hog roast days across Wokingham

Across Wokingham, care homes, retirement housing and day centres book hog roast days.

Reading: Fobney Island Wetland Reserve is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. Volunteers from churches such as All Nations Christian Centre sometimes help at care home events, and a hog roast day can bring everyone together. For a summer hog roast day in Reading, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

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

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.

What the cooking area needs

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

Sign-off from management
A named contact on the day
A spot that keeps access clear

How we price a hog roast day

Here’s what affects the price:

Season and day of the week
Crockery choices
Access to the cooking area
The journey to the venue

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Wokingham: your questions answered

Do you cook in the kitchen?

In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.

Can relatives eat with residents?

It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.

What do people get?

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

How much will it be?

Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

How long does the roast need?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
