Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents.

Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Wiston questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Wiston too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What about texture-modified diets?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter afternoons in Wiston are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
