How our care home hog roast works in Ascott Earl
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. We serve thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater day centre get-togethers and open afternoons.
Country homes near Ascott Earl often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Ascott Earl questions
Do you come out to small places like Ascott Earl?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Ascott Earl?
Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, in Ascott Earl itself.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What space does the roaster need?
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 check it with you before booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Chicken can be added.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
