Care home hog roast in Warsash
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Warsash
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for retirement community days and garden fêtes.
Smaller homes around Warsash may only have a modest garden, so send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

FAQs for Warsash

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 work to whatever the site needs.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
