What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

What else we do in Canada
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, the light in Canada goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- 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.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Getting a price
Every care home event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: use our quote form.
