Care home hog roast for your care home event in Brookside
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater summer fêtes and days for relatives, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
Rural care homes near Brookside can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Brookside: your questions answered
Is Brookside too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Brookside?
The closest is Ascot station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
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 we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast can be part of a wider event, such as a singer or a garden fête. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
