How our care home hog roast works in Lions Green
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Whether it is day centre lunches and anniversaries of the home, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and apple sauce and more.
Rural homes around Lions Green may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, the light in Lions Green goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
