Care home hog roast in Stroud, carved to order
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Whether it’s day centre get-togethers and anniversaries of the home, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Rural care homes near Stroud can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
