How our care home hog roast works in Emsworth
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 are frequently asked to cater staff appreciation days and milestone days for the home, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In Emsworth, care homes, a hog roast is a real event for residents. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Count families and staff too
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Winter afternoons in Emsworth are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- 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.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
