Care home hog roast in Upper Kingston, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Typical bookings include open afternoons and care home summer fairs, serving roast potatoes, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Upper Kingston, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Upper Kingston
Is Upper Kingston too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you provide allergen information?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can visitors eat too?

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you carve thinly?
We’ll serve however suits your residents.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?

The process

- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue

- Any venue rules

- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Approval from the home
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
