Care home hog roast in Hunton, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and retirement housing events.
Rural homes around Hunton may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Questions from Hunton
What’s the nearest station to Hunton?
Micheldever station, about 2.9 miles north-east of the centre.
How far is Hunton from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
How do you handle allergies?
Allergen details are provided.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What else we do in Hunton
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer hog roast day in Hunton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
