Care home hog roast in Egypt, carved to order
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. Whether it’s day centre lunches and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook roast potatoes, apple sauce and new potatoes.
At a rural home near Egypt, access matters so we can plan our route. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Winter afternoons in Egypt are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning help
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
