Care home hog roast in Ivybridge, carved to order
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. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for families’ days and retirement community days.
In Ivybridge, we cook in the home’s garden or car park, as agreed with the manager. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

As a London location, Ivybridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
