How our care home hog roast works in Long Sutton
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and staff thank-you lunches, with roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
Country homes near Long Sutton frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Approval from the home
- A named contact on the day

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

A hog roast compared with other options
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request thin slices
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We clear away quietly.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer hog roast day in Long Sutton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
