About our care home hog roast in Greywell
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Whether it’s care home summer fairs and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Country homes near Greywell frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A named contact on the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why choose a hog roast in Greywell?
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

About the food

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally 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. In summer, Greywell has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
