About our care home hog roast in Weybridge
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. On the menu are new potatoes, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for families’ days and sheltered housing gatherings.
In Weybridge, a garden hog roast on a sunny day works beautifully, if there is space for the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Questions from Weybridge
Could you cook in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Weybridge from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you provide allergen information?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Stuffing normally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
A hog roast or other catering?
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
