Care home hog roast for your care home event in Chesterton
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Typical bookings include milestone days for the home and day centre lunches, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
At a rural home near Chesterton, access matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast pork, carved
- New potatoes
- Roast potatoes
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter afternoons in Chesterton are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
