About our care home hog roast in South Leigh
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include days for relatives and care home summer fairs, serving roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
At a rural home near South Leigh, access matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

How it works

- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: fill in our quote form.
