Care home hog roast in Marehill, 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. For day centre events and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork for your residents.
At a rural home near Marehill, access matters so we can plan our route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late May in Marehill has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.

- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
