How our care home hog roast works in Avery Hill
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. Typical bookings include themed days and family days with visitors, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes.
Care homes in Avery Hill frequently have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Avery Hill questions
Can you do a hog roast in Shoulder of Mutton Green?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.

How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.

- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
