How our care home hog roast works in Gibraltar
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include seasonal events and open afternoons, serving apple sauce, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
For a care home near Gibraltar, tell us about lanes and the drive. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Gibraltar
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Gibraltar too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
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.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Why choose care home hog roast in Gibraltar?
It brings a sense of occasion to an ordinary day.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:
- Open afternoons
- Retirement community days
- Days for relatives
- Home anniversaries
Volunteers from churches such as Church of Saints Peter and Paul sometimes help at care home events, and a hog roast day can bring everyone together.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Gibraltar, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

A closer look at the menu
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.
What affects the price in Gibraltar
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
