FAQs for Moulsford
Is Moulsford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you cover Moulsford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Moulsford and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Moulsford
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we’re often booked for staff appreciation days and open days.
Rural homes around Moulsford may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us

How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, the light in Moulsford goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: send us your details through our quote form.
