How our care home hog roast works in Linchmere
In Linchmere, care homes book us for fêtes, open days and family days, bringing everyone together over a meal. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for residents’ themed days and summer fêtes.
Rural care homes near Linchmere can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year

- How easy it is to reach the spot

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late May in Linchmere has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
