Book a hog roast in Slough
Care home hog roast in Slough, slow-roasted on site
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. For thank-you meals for staff and garden fêtes, we can cook halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce for your residents.
Care homes and retirement housing in Slough vary from large sites to small homes. We’ll agree a level spot clear of emergency access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
For event organisers in Slough
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
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. Get that agreed before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

What a hog roast costs

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
