Care home hog roast in Weston Green, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. Typical bookings include staff appreciation days and seasonal events, with apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
Rural care homes near Weston Green can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Seating for residents
- Away from opening windows
- A level spot in the garden or car park

Your questions about a hog roast day in Weston Green
What’s the nearest station to Weston Green?
Thames Ditton station, in Weston Green itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Giggs Hill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. By late September, the light in Weston Green goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
