About our care home hog roast in Horley
You know your residents best, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. Whether it’s anniversaries of the home and family days with visitors, we can cook halloumi skewers, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
In Horley, a garden hog roast on a sunny day works beautifully, if there’s space for the roaster. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Horley
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In summer, Horley has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
