How our care home hog roast works in Hillway
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include milestone days for the home and community open days, serving halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
Country homes near Hillway frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A named contact on the day
- Seating for residents
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Hillway is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
