How our care home hog roast works in Coldharbour
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Typical bookings include days for relatives and milestone days for the home, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Around Coldharbour, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In late May, sunset in Coldharbour is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your residents

- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
Your team helps residents as needed.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
