Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Care home hog roast in Eastchurch, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. For open afternoons and retirement housing events, we’ll put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a rural home near Eastchurch, access matters. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
