DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Care home hog roast in Greengate, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include staff appreciation days and care home summer fairs, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
In Greengate, we cook in the home’s garden or car park, as agreed with the manager. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
