Slow-roasted pork in Rogate
Care home hog roast in Rogate, slow-roasted on site
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Typical bookings include open days and staff appreciation days, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Rogate, access matters. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late May, sunset in Rogate is about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
See our prices page and the cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request thin slices
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear of bedroom windows
