Care home hog roast in Milton-under-Wychwood, carved to order
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement housing events and care home summer fairs, serving rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and apple sauce.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Milton-under-Wychwood, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day

How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
