Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, it’s easier for everyone to enjoy. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

- Count families and staff too
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In late May, sunset in North Newington is about 9:00pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
