Care home hog roast for your care home event in Adgestone
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it is day centre events and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your residents.
Rural homes around Adgestone may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Step by step

- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from opening windows
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Sign-off from management
Adgestone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
