Care home hog roast for your care home event in Holbrook
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and we’re often booked for retirement housing events and days for relatives.
Rural care homes near Holbrook can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Late May in Holbrook has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
