Care home hog roast in Burghfield Bridge, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Whether it is day centre get-togethers and milestone days for the home, we can cook apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a rural home near Burghfield Bridge, access matters so we can plan our route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count families and staff too
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Chicken can be added.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer hog roast day in Burghfield Bridge, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
