Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Winter afternoons in Holmer Green are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.

Holmer Green: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Holmer Green close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
