Care home hog roast in Isfield, slow-roasted on site
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Isfield suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. We’re often asked to cater day centre lunches and care home summer fairs, serving new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Rural homes around Isfield may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Why choose a hog roast in Isfield?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Request thin slices
- Count families and staff too
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
For event organisers in Isfield
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Where the roaster can go in Isfield
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Approval from the home
- A level outdoor area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, the light in Isfield goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: send us your details through our quote form.
