The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Winter afternoons in Broughton are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

- Halal is not offered
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
