Care home hog roast in Weston
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Weston
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Typical bookings include retirement housing events and open afternoons, with roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes.
For a care home in a place like Weston, a hog roast day brings a sense of occasion. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.

Organising for someone else?

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Weston
Is Weston close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How do you handle allergies?
You will get allergen details for everything. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request thin slices
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
