Care home hog roast for Bisham
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Care home hog roast in Bisham, 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. For thank-you meals for staff and family days with visitors, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes for your residents.
Rural homes around Bisham may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Questions from Bisham
Which station is closest to Bisham?
The closest is Marlow station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Bisham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
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. For a summer hog roast day in Bisham, 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 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
