Prestwood Local Nature Reserve is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. If your residents have links with Speen Church (Baptist), a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a hog roast. Speen is within about 4 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape.
Wherever your care home event is in HP27, we can roast on site for your residents, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a care home event in a garden on St Peters Close, Studridge Lane and Chapel Hill, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late May in Speen has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
