Care home hog roast in Holyport, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it’s community open days and summer fêtes, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers for your residents.
Country homes near Holyport often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, the light in Holyport goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Ockwells Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families.
