How our care home hog roast works in East Hanney
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We serve roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for sheltered housing gatherings and families’ days.
Rural homes around East Hanney may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What else we do in East Hanney
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Halal is not offered
- Request thin slices
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Chicken can be added.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late May in East Hanney has light until about 9:00pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
