How our care home hog roast works in Mimbridge
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and family days with visitors, with roast potatoes, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
At a rural home near Mimbridge, access matters. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Mimbridge
Do you come out to small places like Mimbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Mimbridge?
The closest is Woking station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll give your team the information they need.

What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
