Care home hog roast in Dunton, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for care home summer fairs and staff appreciation days.
Rural homes around Dunton may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Dunton: your questions answered
Is Dunton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Dunton from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we will work alongside your kitchen.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Seating for residents
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Someone to meet us
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
