Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for milestone days for the home and families’ days.
Rural care homes near Jordans can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Jordans: 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.
Do you come out to small places like Jordans?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided for your team to check.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Jordans, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
