About our care home hog roast in Binley
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. Whether it is anniversaries of the home and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook new potatoes, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural homes around Binley may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Why choose a hog roast in Binley?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose

- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking 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.
