Slow-roasted pork in Aldrington
Care home hog roast in Aldrington, slow-roasted on site
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. We are frequently asked to cater open afternoons and day centre lunches, serving halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
Around Aldrington, some homes have limited outdoor space, so we check the space with photos first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What else we do in Aldrington
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some residents won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Why choose a hog roast in Aldrington?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed
