Care home hog roast for your care home event in Beenham
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. For seasonal events and open days, we can cook roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce for your residents.
Rural homes around Beenham may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In summer, Beenham has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What the cooking area needs

- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
