How our care home hog roast works in Hawley
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 roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for themed days and garden fêtes.
In Hawley, care homes, 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.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Where the roaster can go in Hawley
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
