Care home hog roast in Horseport
How our care home hog roast works in Horseport
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. Whether it’s staff appreciation days and community open days, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
At a rural home near Horseport, access matters so we can plan our route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count families and staff too
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Chicken can be added.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
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.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Winter afternoons in Horseport are short, with sunset at about 4:05pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- 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 tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
