Care home hog roast in Westhampnett, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include seasonal events and retirement community days, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
At a rural home near Westhampnett, access matters. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Westhampnett, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every care home event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
