Care home hog roast for Yateley
Care home hog roast in Yateley, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it’s home anniversaries and open days, we can cook apple sauce, roast potatoes and new potatoes and more.
Day centres and sheltered housing in Yateley often have a communal garden, where a hog roast works well. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.

- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week

Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Winter afternoons in Yateley are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
China crockery is available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
