Care home hog roast in Fleeden, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Whether it’s days for relatives and home anniversaries, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
At a rural home near Fleeden, access matters. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the home
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Someone to meet us
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
