Slow-roasted pork in Dunsfold
Care home hog roast in Dunsfold, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. Whether it is home anniversaries and open afternoons, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and new potatoes.
For a care home near Dunsfold, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Winter afternoons in Dunsfold are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Allergies and dietary needs

For event organisers in Dunsfold
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Clear of bedroom windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
