Care home hog roast for Cambridge Heath
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Travel to Cambridge Heath
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
