How our care home hog roast works in Hurst Green
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. Typical bookings include days for relatives and retirement community days, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Hurst Green, access matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Hurst Green, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
