About our care home hog roast in Botley
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Whether it’s anniversaries of the home and themed days, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and new potatoes and more.
At a rural home near Botley, access matters so we can plan our route. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to 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.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Botley, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
