How our care home hog roast works in Flishinghurst
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. We serve thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and we’re often booked for day centre get-togethers and care home summer fairs.
At a rural home near Flishinghurst, access matters. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late May in Flishinghurst has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
