Slow-roasted pork in Maudlin
Care home hog roast in Maudlin, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For garden fêtes and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce for your residents.
Country homes near Maudlin often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late May, sunset in Maudlin is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
