What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, the light in Southborough goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your residents

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
