Care home hog roast for your care home event in Maybush
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. We serve thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone days for the home and staff appreciation days.
Around Maybush, some homes have limited outdoor space, so we check the space with photos first. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A spot that keeps access clear
- A named contact on the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer hog roast day in Maybush, 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.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Questions from Maybush
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in St James' Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you serve at lunch?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Maybush and the rest of Southampton included. Send us the address for a quote.
