Care home hog roast in Borough Green, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include garden fêtes and milestone days for the home, with thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
Smaller homes around Borough Green may only have a modest garden, so send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level outdoor area

- Sign-off from management
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
