Common questions in Hamsey Green
Can you do a hog roast in Blanchman's Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is Hamsey Green from London?
About 13 miles from central London.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates are often easier for residents.
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Hamsey Green
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Whether it’s thank-you meals for staff and day centre events, we can cook roast potatoes, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Rural care homes near Hamsey Green can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What affects the price in Hamsey Green
Your quote depends on:
- The number of people
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
