About our care home hog roast in Bierley
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For days for relatives and staff appreciation days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce and more.
For a care home near Bierley, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Bierley
Can you roast near the sea around Bierley?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Bierley?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 5 miles away.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll be ready.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
