Care home hog roast for your care home event in Ladywell
Serving times fit around the home’s day, lunch or mid-afternoon. We are frequently asked to cater anniversaries of the home and family days with visitors, with roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
In Ladywell, 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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Common questions in Ladywell
What if our house in Ladywell has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Ladywell Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
