Slow-roasted pork in Andwell
About our care home hog roast in Andwell
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. We serve new potatoes, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater day centre lunches and milestone days for the home.
Near Andwell, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer hog roast day in Andwell, 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 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
