Book a hog roast in Greenham

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?

Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

How our care home hog roast works in Greenham

A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We’re often asked to cater garden fêtes and themed days, with thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.

Rural homes around Greenham may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Questions from Greenham

What’s the nearest station to Greenham?

The closest is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 0.9 miles away.

Could you cook in Sandleford Priory?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Can families and staff join in?

It works well as a day with families.

What about texture-modified diets?

Modified textures are best done by the home; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

How soon do you get booked up?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

What should we sort out beforehand?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

What a hog roast costs

Each price is built from:

Travel to Greenham
The number of people
The date and time of year
Whether you want china

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What to tell us

For a quick, accurate price, send us:

Rules from the venue or landowner
Any dietary needs or allergies
Where the event is
A picture of the cooking area

The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

Away from emergency routes
Flat ground in the grounds
Clear of bedroom windows

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Working with your venue

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

The process

We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In Greenham, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, 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 serve inside or out.
We pack up calmly.

Before we arrive

Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Give us final numbers a week or so before
