Care home hog roast in Chobham, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include open days and sheltered housing gatherings, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
For a care home in a place like Chobham, a hog roast is a real event for residents. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Count families and staff too
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Chicken can be added.

- Sign-off from management
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
