How our care home hog roast works in Kimpton
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. Typical bookings include day centre events and home anniversaries, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce.
Near Kimpton, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Will there be enough to go round?

Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In summer, Kimpton has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
