Care home hog roast in Kempshott, carved to order
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. We are frequently asked to cater families’ days and retirement housing events, serving roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Smaller homes around Kempshott may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer hog roast day in Kempshott, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Seating for residents
- A named contact on the day
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
