Care home hog roast in Up Somborne, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. Whether it’s day centre get-togethers and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce and more.
Rural homes around Up Somborne may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-September sunset in Up Somborne is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Why choose a hog roast in Up Somborne?
A hog roast can be part of a wider event, such as a singer or a garden fête. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Up Somborne hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- A clear quote with everything listed
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- Site access
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
