About our care home hog roast in Kingston Bagpuize
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for open afternoons and home anniversaries.
Smaller homes around Kingston Bagpuize may only have a modest garden, so send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. For a summer hog roast day in Kingston Bagpuize, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Kingston Bagpuize hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- An itemised quote
