A hog roast near Broomhill
Care home hog roast in Broomhill, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and residents’ themed days, with new potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
For a care home near Broomhill, tell us about lanes and the drive. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. By late September, the light in Broomhill goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
