How our care home hog roast works in Tingewick
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For garden fêtes and community open days, we can cook new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a rural home near Tingewick, access matters so we can plan our route. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Tingewick: your questions answered
Is Tingewick too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Tingewick from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. For a summer hog roast day in Tingewick, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Someone to meet us
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A spot that keeps access clear
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
