Care home hog roast for your care home event in Dormers Wells
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Typical bookings include seasonal events and days for relatives, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and apple sauce.
Care homes in Dormers Wells frequently have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Dormers Wells
Can you do a hog roast in Castle Bar Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Dormers Wells has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you handle allergies?
You will get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Dormers Wells, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.

- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
