A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents

- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
