About our care home hog roast in Beamond End
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. Whether it is milestone days for the home and residents’ themed days, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Near Beamond End, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
