Care home hog roast in Pond Park, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes, and we’re often booked for retirement housing events and open days.
Around Pond Park, homes frequently have a garden and drive. Tell us about access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count families and staff too
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Your team helps residents as needed.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Questions from Pond Park
Which station is closest to Pond Park?
The closest is Amersham station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can visitors eat too?
Families and staff are welcome.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing normally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Sign-off from management
- An activities lead or manager as contact
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A hog roast or other catering?
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
