Care home hog roast for your care home event in Hankham
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. Popular choices include roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater seasonal events and staff appreciation days.
Country homes near Hankham frequently 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 day feels like an outing without leaving home. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Common questions in Hankham
How far is Hankham from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count families and staff too
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Chicken can be added.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Someone to meet us
- Sign-off from management
- Flat ground in the grounds
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
