How our care home hog roast works in Damerham

Near Damerham, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.

Damerham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Damerham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
