About our care home hog roast in Shenley
Retirement housing and day centres around Shenley book hog roast days too, for themed days and gatherings. We serve thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater home anniversaries and seasonal events.
Rural homes around Shenley may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Shenley questions
Could you cook in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Shenley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cover Shenley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Shenley and the rest of Milton Keynes included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in Shenley is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A spot that keeps access clear

For event organisers in Shenley
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
