How our care home hog roast works in Hampers Green
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Whether it’s community open days and day centre get-togethers, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers for your residents.

How far is Hampers Green from London?

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
