Care home hog roast for your care home event in Mildmay
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Whether it’s day centre get-togethers and open days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
Care homes in Mildmay frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Serving on plates is often easier.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
