How our care home hog roast works in Curdridge
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement community days and staff appreciation days.
Country homes near Curdridge frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Someone to meet us

- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.

Planning a hog roast day in Curdridge
Curdridge is about 3 miles east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Care home events in Curdridge are part of our patch. We bring hog roasts to 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 7 miles away.
Visitors arriving by train should know that Botley station, about 0.9 miles south-west, is the nearest station. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of St Peter, is a good occasion for a hog roast. With the sea within about 6 miles, many residents will have memories of the seaside.
We bring hog roasts to care home events all over the SO32 and SO30 postcode area. Streets in the area include Chapel Lane, Lockhams Road and Botley Road, and a care home event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
