Care home hog roast in Beckley Furnace, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For care home summer fairs and days for relatives, we can cook apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural homes around Beckley Furnace may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in Beckley Furnace, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
