About our care home hog roast in Clanfield
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. We’re frequently asked to cater community open days and retirement community days, serving new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Rural care homes near Clanfield can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Clanfield: your questions answered
Is Clanfield too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Clanfield close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Many homes make it a family day.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
How do you handle allergies?
Allergen details are provided for your team to check.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Clanfield, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
