How our care home hog roast works in Durley Street
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. For care home summer fairs and thank-you meals for staff, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and roast potatoes and more.
Rural care homes near Durley Street can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September sunset in Durley Street is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

- Count families and staff too
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents

We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
