Care home hog roast in Hale
How our care home hog roast works in Hale
Day centres and retirement housing near Hale also book us, for themed days and gatherings. We serve new potatoes, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater families’ days and open afternoons.
Rural care homes near Hale can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late May in Hale has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Details that help

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- An itemised quote

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
