How our care home hog roast works in Ashmansworth
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For care home summer fairs and family days with visitors, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes for your residents.
At a rural home near Ashmansworth, access matters. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter afternoons in Ashmansworth are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
