Care home hog roast in Ash
Care home hog roast in Ash, slow-roasted on site
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. We serve rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for retirement housing events and home anniversaries.
Care homes around Ash are often in converted houses with gardens. Let us know about the way in. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

A hog roast compared with other options

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Time on site
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Ash, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or GU12 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear of bedroom windows
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
