How our care home hog roast works in Brook
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We’re often asked to cater themed days and care home summer fairs, serving rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
Rural homes around Brook may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.

Brook questions
Is Brook 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 roast near the sea around Brook?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
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.
Do you come to Brook?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Winter afternoons in Brook are short, with sunset at about 4:05pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
