For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it’s staff appreciation days and day centre lunches, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, the light in Mottisfont goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
For event organisers in Mottisfont
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
