Care home hog roast in Offington
How our care home hog roast works in Offington
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We serve rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for seasonal events and retirement community days.
Rural homes around Offington may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How it 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. Late-September sunset in Offington is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
