Care home hog roast in Faringdon, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We’re frequently asked to cater anniversaries of the home and open days, serving apple sauce, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
Smaller homes around Faringdon may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Faringdon
How far is Faringdon from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What allergens are in the food?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What time do you serve?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll be ready.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter afternoons in Faringdon are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
Your team helps residents as needed.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
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.
