What we serve, dish by dish

Care home hog roast for your care home event in Laughton
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include days for relatives and day centre events, serving rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
For a care home near Laughton, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Laughton
Do you come out to small places like Laughton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Do you cover Laughton?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
