Care home hog roast in Langstone, slow-roasted on site
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for staff appreciation days and community open days.
Country homes near Langstone frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In summer, Langstone has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
