For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Serving on plates is often easier.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
