Care home hog roast for Hillstreet
Care home hog roast in Hillstreet, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For open afternoons and families’ days, we can cook roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
Near Hillstreet, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Hillstreet: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Hillstreet?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
