How our care home hog roast works in Shepperton
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. We serve thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for residents’ themed days and day centre lunches.
Smaller homes around Shepperton may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Winter afternoons in Shepperton are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

Shepperton: your questions answered
How far is Shepperton from London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
