The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter afternoons in Bagshot are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning help
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Bagshot
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Typical bookings include seasonal events and families’ days, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork.
At a rural home near Bagshot, access matters. 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.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Why choose a hog roast in Bagshot?
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Bagshot hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved to order by a chef

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
