What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer hog roast day in Sulhamstead, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Where the roaster can go in Sulhamstead
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from opening windows
- Seating for residents
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
