About our care home hog roast in Ashford
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Popular choices include new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for retirement housing events and thank-you meals for staff.
At a rural home near Ashford, access matters so we can plan our route. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Winter afternoons in Ashford are short, with sunset at about 4:05pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
