Care home hog roast in Dean Court, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre events and staff thank-you lunches.
Around Dean Court, some homes have limited outdoor space, so we check the space with photos first. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.

- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Time on site

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In summer, Dean Court has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
