How our care home hog roast works in Bartley
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for open days and anniversaries of the home.
For a care home near Bartley, tell us about lanes and the drive. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late May in Bartley has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
