About our care home hog roast in Offham
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. Typical bookings include families’ days and thank-you meals for staff, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and roast potatoes.
Country homes near Offham often have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In late May, sunset in Offham is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
