Slow-roasted pork in Bluetown
About our care home hog roast in Bluetown
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes. Whether it’s care home summer fairs and retirement community days, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
At a rural home near Bluetown, access matters. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
