Care home hog roast in Lumley
Care home hog roast in Lumley, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We’re often asked to cater anniversaries of the home and retirement housing events, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Rural care homes near Lumley can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. 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.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In summer, Lumley has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your residents

What we serve, dish by dish
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.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
