About our care home hog roast in Lindfield

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In summer, Lindfield has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
