How our care home hog roast works in Caulcott
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Caulcott suit a hog roast, bringing everyone together over a meal. On the menu are roast potatoes, new potatoes and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for day centre events and seasonal events.
Country homes near Caulcott frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. 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.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Halal isn’t offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
