About our care home hog roast in Little Chart Forstal
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Whether it is summer fêtes and open days, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes and more.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Serving on plates is often easier.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Approval from the home
- Away from emergency routes
- Someone to meet us
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
