Care home hog roast in George Green, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. Whether it’s families’ days and themed days, we can cook new potatoes, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
At a rural home near George Green, access matters so we can plan our route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late May, sunset in George Green is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Someone to meet us
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count families and staff too
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
