Care home hog roast for Ford
Care home hog roast in Ford, carved to order
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. For seasonal events and care home summer fairs, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Rural care homes near Ford can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why choose a hog roast in Ford?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late May in Ford has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time

About the food

- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
