Wash Water questions
Is Wash Water close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Sandleford Priory?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Families and staff are welcome.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates are often easier for residents.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. For a summer hog roast day in Wash Water, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
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.

- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
