How our care home hog roast works in Abingworth
You know your residents best, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. We are often asked to cater summer fêtes and families’ days, with new potatoes, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
At a rural home near Abingworth, access matters. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
