Care home hog roast for your care home event in Mayes Green
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater day centre lunches and seasonal events, with apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
Country homes near Mayes Green frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In summer, Mayes Green has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, 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 serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
