Care home hog roast for your care home event in Crawley
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Popular choices include apple sauce, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater day centre get-togethers and home anniversaries.
In Crawley, many care homes have a garden or car park that suits a hog roast. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

- The journey to the venue

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
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.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late May in Crawley has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.

- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear away quietly.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
