About our care home hog roast in Fulbrook
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for days for relatives and residents’ themed days.
Country homes near Fulbrook frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
