Book a hog roast in Hinton Ampner
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
How our care home hog roast works in Hinton Ampner
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For seasonal events and open days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Hinton Ampner, access matters. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Hinton Ampner, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
