Care home hog roast for West End
Care home hog roast in West End, carved to order
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. For care home summer fairs and families’ days, we can cook new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
Care homes around West End are frequently in converted houses with gardens. Tell us about access. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

West End: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Itchen Valley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to West End?
The closest is Southampton Airport Parkway station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing normally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
