Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Away from emergency routes
- Clear of bedroom windows
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request thin slices
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
