Care home hog roast in Binsey, slow-roasted on site
For care homes in Binsey, a hog roast day is a real occasion. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. For themed days and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook apple sauce, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your residents.
Rural homes around Binsey may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. 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.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter afternoons in Binsey are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
