Care home hog roast for your care home event in Firgo
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Firgo suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. For families’ days and open afternoons, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your residents.
Near Firgo, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, the light in Firgo goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
