About our care home hog roast in Black Bourton
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For day centre lunches and family days with visitors, we’ll put together a menu of roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For a care home near Black Bourton, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Black Bourton
Is Black Bourton close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Black Bourton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer hog roast day in Black Bourton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
