Care home hog roast in Forest Green, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We serve thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for community open days and home anniversaries.
Rural homes around Forest Green may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Request thin slices
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Ask about china.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Forest Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Forest Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Wallis Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you provide allergen information?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
