Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Away from emergency routes
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Roast potatoes
- Roast pork, carved
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Burford, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
