Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

About our care home hog roast in Kingsnorth
For care homes in Kingsnorth, a hog roast day is a real occasion. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. We are frequently asked to cater home anniversaries and residents’ themed days, serving roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
For a care home near Kingsnorth, tell us about lanes and the drive. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Chicken can be added.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A named contact on the day
- Sign-off from management
- A level outdoor area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Roast pork, carved
- Halloumi skewers (V)

For event organisers in Kingsnorth
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
