How our care home hog roast works in East Anton
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for community open days and family days with visitors.
For a care home in a place like East Anton, a hog roast is a real event for residents. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A named contact on the day
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- New potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast pork, carved
- Roast potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
