Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count residents who need an alternative
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Care home hog roast in Caldecott, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for day centre events and staff thank-you lunches.
Smaller homes around Caldecott may only have a modest garden, so send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Questions from Caldecott
How far is Caldecott from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Albert Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Where will the roaster go?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
How we price a hog roast day
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your care home event in Caldecott. For a summer hog roast day in Caldecott, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.

- We tidy up and leave calmly.
