How our care home hog roast works in Froxfield Green
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We’re often asked to cater thank-you meals for staff and residents’ themed days, serving roast potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Country homes near Froxfield Green often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
Questions from Froxfield Green
Do you come out to small places like Froxfield Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will give your team the information they need.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Request thin slices
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Chicken can be added.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.

- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
