Care home hog roast in Maltman's Hill, carved to order
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Maltman's Hill suit a hog roast, bringing everyone together over a meal. Whether it’s open days and themed days, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Maltman's Hill, access matters so we can plan our route. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Count families and staff too
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Chicken can be added.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In summer, Maltman's Hill has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
