How our care home hog roast works in Fortune Green
For care homes in Fortune Green, a hog roast day is a real occasion. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. We’re often asked to cater open afternoons and staff thank-you lunches, with rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a care home in Fortune Green, a corner of the garden or car park typically works, as agreed with the manager. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Winter afternoons in Fortune Green are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
