Care home hog roast in Blackfield, carved to order
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for seasonal events and sheltered housing gatherings.
Around Blackfield, some homes have limited outdoor space, so send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
