Care home hog roast in Bexon
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Bexon
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and day centre events, with thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer hog roast day in Bexon, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or ME9 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.

FAQs for Bexon
Could you cook in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Bexon too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you fit around mealtimes?
