Care home hog roast for your care home event in Inkpen
Day centres and retirement housing near Inkpen also book us, for themed days and gatherings. For home anniversaries and family days with visitors, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Rural homes around Inkpen may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How much does a hog roast cost?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
