How our care home hog roast works in East End
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater day centre get-togethers and garden fêtes.
For a care home near East End, tell us about lanes and the drive. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
East End: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like East End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you carve thinly?
We will serve however suits your residents.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What affects the price in East End
Things that change the price:
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
