What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
How our care home hog roast works in Budds
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and home anniversaries.
For a care home near Budds, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Budds questions
What’s the nearest station to Budds?
Hildenborough station, about 2.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Budds close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Seating for residents
- Someone to meet us
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
