Care home hog roast for Cowesfield Gate
Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
About our care home hog roast in Cowesfield Gate
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for days for relatives and thank-you meals for staff.
Country homes near Cowesfield Gate often have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- An activities lead or manager as contact
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
