Care home hog roast for your care home event in Culmers
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. We serve rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater residents’ themed days and sheltered housing gatherings.
Near Culmers, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
