Slow-roasted pork in Goosey
Care home hog roast in Goosey, carved to order
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. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre events and anniversaries of the home.
Rural homes around Goosey may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

FAQs for Goosey
Is Goosey close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Goosey?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request thin slices
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Winter afternoons in Goosey are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
