Care home hog roast for your care home event in Lyneham
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. For staff appreciation days and themed days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers for your residents.
At a rural home near Lyneham, access matters so we can plan our route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
