Care home hog roast in Calvert, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For milestone days for the home and day centre lunches, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
Country homes near Calvert often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Is Calvert too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you come to Calvert?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Calvert and Buckinghamshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
