How our care home hog roast works in Brompton
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. For retirement community days and summer fêtes, we can cook new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken and more.
Care homes around Brompton are often in converted houses with gardens. Tell us about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We clear away quietly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In late May, sunset in Brompton is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
