Planning a hog roast day in Hazeley
Hazeley is about 4 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. A hog roast suits care home events around Hazeley, whatever the venue. Hazeley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Hazeley to Reading (about 8 miles away).
For families visiting by train, Winchfield station, about 3.3 miles south, is the nearest station. Residents who remember days out at The Marshes Local Nature Reserve may enjoy talking about them over lunch.
Care home events anywhere in RG27 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many residents. Streets in the area include Plough Lane and Red Hill, and a care home event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For care home events just outside Hazeley, we cover Hound Green (1 mile west), Bramshill (1 mile north), Mattingley (1 mile south-west), Heckfield (1 mile north-west) and Heckfield Heath (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (9 miles south-west), Farnborough (8 miles east), Fleet (6 miles south-east), Aldershot (9 miles south-east), Alton (12 miles south) and Yateley (4 miles east).

- Local pubs include The Mutton pub (under half a mile south-west)
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Why choose a hog roast in Hazeley?
Instead of organising a trip, it’s easier for everyone to enjoy. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, the light in Hazeley goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
