About the food

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Some residents will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Roast pork

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Why choose a hog roast in Bletchley?

How it works

The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September sunset in Bletchley is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.

  1. A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
  2. Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
  3. Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
  4. On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
  5. After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.

How to prepare

  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day
  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage
