Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the home
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Away from opening windows
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
A hog roast can be part of a wider event, such as a singer or a garden fête. 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.
