How our care home hog roast works in Shabbington
In Shabbington, care homes book us for fêtes, open days and family days, bringing everyone together over a meal. On the menu are apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for retirement housing events and days for relatives.
At a rural home near Shabbington, access matters so we can plan our route. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
