Slow-roasted pork in Finstock
Care home hog roast in Finstock, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include family days with visitors and themed days, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural homes around Finstock may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.

- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
