Care home hog roast in Monks Risborough, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and families’ days, with apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
Country homes near Monks Risborough frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer hog roast day in Monks Risborough, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
