Care home hog roast for your care home event in Burnham
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. On the menu are apple sauce, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for open days and day centre get-togethers.
In Burnham, care homes, a hog roast is a real event for residents. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Burnham questions
How far is Burnham from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In summer, Burnham has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
