About our care home hog roast in St Mary Hoo
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and community open days, with apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
At a rural home near St Mary Hoo, access matters so we can plan our route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In St Mary Hoo, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
