Care home hog roast for your care home event in Farnborough
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for anniversaries of the home and garden fêtes.
Rural homes around Farnborough may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. 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 doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Serving on plates is often easier.
