Is Milcombe close to London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Milcombe?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Count families and staff too
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Ask about china.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Milcombe, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
