Care home hog roast for your care home event in Bighton
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For summer fêtes and staff appreciation days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and roast potatoes and more.
Near Bighton, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
