Care home hog roast in Ashburton
How our care home hog roast works in Ashburton
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For day centre get-togethers and garden fêtes, we can cook roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
London care homes around Ashburton frequently sit on busy streets with tight access, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Ashburton
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers

Questions from Ashburton
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ashburton?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Ashburton Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you cover Ashburton?

What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need to provide electricity?
