Care home hog roast in Flemings, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it is families’ days and seasonal events, we’ll put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Rural homes around Flemings may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. In Flemings, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
