How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Winter afternoons in Danesfield are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
Getting a price
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Danesfield
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Danesfield too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
