Care home hog roast in Flexford
How our care home hog roast works in Flexford
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. Typical bookings include sheltered housing gatherings and open afternoons, serving new potatoes, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Flexford, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. By late September, the light in Flexford goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
