About our care home hog roast in Hedge End
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and retirement housing events.
In Hedge End, a garden hog roast on a sunny day works beautifully, if there is space for the roaster. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, the light in Hedge End goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

The menu, dish by dish

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
