How our care home hog roast works in Winsor
In Winsor, care homes book us for fêtes, open days and family days, bringing everyone together over a meal. For day centre events and garden fêtes, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes and more.
Rural homes around Winsor may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Serving on plates is often easier.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer hog roast day in Winsor, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
