Care home hog roast in Sarisbury Green, 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, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and we are frequently booked for thank-you meals for staff and residents’ themed days.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Sarisbury Green
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Hamble Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What time do you serve?
Choose the time, and we will be ready.
