About our care home hog roast in Sheet's Heath
Serving times fit around the home’s day, lunch or mid-afternoon. We serve rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater garden fêtes and day centre lunches.
Country homes near Sheet's Heath frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Count families and staff too
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take

What happens on the day

For a summer hog roast day in Sheet's Heath, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
For planners, venues and organisers

Common questions in Sheet's Heath
Do you come out to small places like Sheet's Heath?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Sheet's Heath?
Brookwood station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Can visitors eat too?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.

What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
