How our care home hog roast works in Farnborough
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater open days and anniversaries of the home.
In Farnborough, we cook in the home’s garden or car park, as agreed with the manager. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late May in Farnborough has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
