Care home hog roast in Hanover, carved to order
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us, served between shifts. We’re often asked to cater staff appreciation days and day centre get-togethers, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
For a care home in a place like Hanover, a hog roast day brings a sense of occasion. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Hanover questions
Can you roast near the sea around Hanover?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Hanover?
The closest is Brighton station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
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.

Families and staff are welcome.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See how we price and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Halal isn’t offered
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We clear away quietly.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
