Care home hog roast in Baulking, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We serve thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for residents’ themed days and garden fêtes.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. For a summer hog roast day in Baulking, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
