Care home hog roast in Aston Tirrold, slow-roasted on site
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. For sheltered housing gatherings and day centre events, we can cook rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Winter afternoons in Aston Tirrold are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
