Care home hog roast for your care home event in Bells Yew Green
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Bells Yew Green suit a hog roast, bringing everyone together over a meal. Whether it’s sheltered housing gatherings and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers and more.
Rural homes around Bells Yew Green may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late May in Bells Yew Green has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.

- We roast through the morning.
