Care home hog roast in Newton Leys, carved to order
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for anniversaries of the home and themed days.
Smaller homes around Newton Leys may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day

Questions from Newton Leys
Which station is closest to Newton Leys?
Bletchley station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Waterhall Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
