About our care home hog roast in Hawridge
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and staff appreciation days, with apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural homes around Hawridge 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 pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Hawridge, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
