How our care home hog roast works in Eridge Green
Retirement housing and day centres around Eridge Green book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. Whether it’s retirement community days and care home summer fairs, we can cook apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Rural care homes near Eridge Green can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Serving on plates is often easier.
