Care home hog roast for your care home event in Hiltingbury
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. We serve roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre get-togethers and staff appreciation days.
In Hiltingbury, care homes, a hog roast day brings a sense of occasion. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.

Hiltingbury: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hiltingbury?
The closest is Chandlers Ford station, roughly 1 mile away.
How far is Hiltingbury from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
What time do you serve?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, the light in Hiltingbury goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.

- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
