How our care home hog roast works in Broyle Side
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us, served between shifts. Whether it is day centre lunches and thank-you meals for staff, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork.
Rural homes around Broyle Side may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Approval from the home
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from emergency routes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast pork, carved
- Roast potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Broyle Side hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
