About our care home hog roast in Headbourne Worthy

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. In Headbourne Worthy, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Headbourne Worthy questions
Is Headbourne Worthy too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Headbourne Worthy close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

- Count families and staff too
