A hog roast near Wycombe Marsh
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer hog roast day in Wycombe Marsh, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Care home hog roast in Wycombe Marsh, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and home anniversaries, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork.

Wycombe Marsh: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Wycombe Marsh too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
