Care home hog roast for Littleton
About our care home hog roast in Littleton
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. For milestone days for the home and day centre get-togethers, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your residents.
Near Littleton, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Looking after everyone
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Ask about china, quoted separately.

- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
