Care home hog roast for Easton
Care home hog roast in Easton, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We are often asked to cater day centre get-togethers and community open days, with thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Country homes near Easton often have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- A level outdoor area
- Clear of bedroom windows
For somewhere as remote as Easton, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count families and staff too
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, the light in Easton goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
