Care home hog roast in Rotherwick, carved to order
In Rotherwick, care homes book us for fêtes, open days and family days, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. For seasonal events and family days with visitors, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Country homes near Rotherwick frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Rotherwick
Which station is closest to Rotherwick?
The closest is Hook station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Rotherwick close to London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Do you cover Rotherwick?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Rotherwick and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In summer, Rotherwick has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
