About our care home hog roast in Netley
Day centres and retirement housing near Netley also book us, for summer get-togethers and themed days. We’re frequently asked to cater sheltered housing gatherings and themed days, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
Around Netley, some homes have limited outdoor space, so send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
