Care home hog roast for your care home event in Churt
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Whether it’s retirement community days and care home summer fairs, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Rural care homes near Churt can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer hog roast day in Churt, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
