Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Care home hog roast in Quainton, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and we are often booked for care home summer fairs and open days.
Rural homes around Quainton may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count families and staff too
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
