Care home hog roast in Mindenhurst, carved to order
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for retirement community days and thank-you meals for staff.
Rural care homes near Mindenhurst can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
A hog roast or other catering?

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Someone to meet us
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground in the grounds

The menu, dish by dish
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.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
