How our care home hog roast works in Brick Hill
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Brick Hill suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. We serve roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater families’ days and care home summer fairs.
Rural care homes near Brick Hill can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Brick Hill: your questions answered
Is Brick Hill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Gracious Pond?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided for your team to check.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In summer, Brick Hill has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
