Care home hog roast for Middleton
How our care home hog roast works in Middleton
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. Popular choices include roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for days for relatives and garden fêtes.
Around Middleton, some homes have limited outdoor space, so send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Why choose a hog roast in Middleton?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, the light in Middleton goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Flat ground in the grounds

How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or MK10 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
