Care home hog roast for your care home event in Hinxhill Park
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include thank-you meals for staff and seasonal events, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
For a care home near Hinxhill Park, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Someone to meet us
- Seating for residents
- Approval from the home
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In summer, Hinxhill Park has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
