Care home hog roast in Fox, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater thank-you meals for staff and care home summer fairs.
Country homes near Fox often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Fox hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September sunset in Fox is about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to 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. Use our quote form.
