About our care home hog roast in Milebush
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. We are frequently asked to cater open days and residents’ themed days, with new potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Near Milebush, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.
For event organisers in Milebush
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Flat ground in the grounds
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, the light in Milebush goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
