Care home hog roast for Lymore
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Lymore
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. For community open days and family days with visitors, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, new potatoes and roast potatoes for your residents.
Country homes near Lymore frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- The full menu and the sides
- What the price includes, item by item
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away quietly.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
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 Lymore, December daylight ends around 4:05pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
