Care home hog roast in Kemptown
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Kemptown
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for staff appreciation days and retirement housing events.
Around Kemptown, homes often have a garden and drive. Let us know about the way in. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Kemptown, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Kemptown
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
Send us the date, the address or BN2 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count residents who need an alternative
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
