Our care home hog roast in the Isle of Wight
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Typical bookings include families’ days and anniversaries of the home, serving thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.

Care settings across the Isle of Wight
From Newport, Ryde and Cowes to 102 villages and hamlets, the Isle of Wight has care homes of every size. We agree a cooking spot clear of emergency access at each one. 116 of the places we cover in the Isle of Wight are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot.
Newport: Briddlesford Nature Reserve is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. Volunteers from churches such as The Man in the Moon sometimes help at care home events, and a hog roast day can bring everyone together. By late September, the light in Newport goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast brings the event to residents.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
