Common questions in Middle Wallop
What’s the nearest station to Middle Wallop?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 3 miles away.
Is Middle Wallop too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you serve on plates?
We’ll serve however suits your residents.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Care home hog roast in Middle Wallop, carved to order
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Whether it’s day centre lunches and themed days, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
At a rural home near Middle Wallop, access matters so we can plan our route. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
