About our care home hog roast in Goddard's Green
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are halloumi skewers, new potatoes and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater seasonal events and community open days.
For a care home near Goddard's Green, tell us about lanes and the drive. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Common questions in Goddard's Green
Do you come out to small places like Goddard's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Goddard's Green?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
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 if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
