Care home hog roast in Piddington, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For day centre lunches and open afternoons, we’ll put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and new potatoes.
At a rural home near Piddington, access matters so we can plan our route. 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Perfect for your care home event in Piddington
It brings residents, families and staff together.
We are regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around Piddington, such as:

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By late September, the light in Piddington goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
What affects the price in Piddington
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request thin slices
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
