Care home hog roast in Culverstone Green, slow-roasted on site

At a rural home near Culverstone Green, access matters so we can plan our route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By late September, the light in Culverstone Green goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
