Care home hog roast in Little Somborne, carved to order
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for day centre events and families’ days.
Country homes near Little Somborne frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Chicken can be added.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.

The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late May, sunset in Little Somborne is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
