Care home hog roast for High Cross
How our care home hog roast works in High Cross
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre get-togethers and residents’ themed days.
At a rural home near High Cross, access matters so we can plan our route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count families and staff too
- Count residents who need an alternative
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.

For event organisers in High Cross
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In High Cross, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
