Care home hog roast in Heath Park
Care home hog roast in Heath Park, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it is themed days and families’ days, we can cook apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
Care homes in Heath Park often have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.

- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
