Care home hog roast in Mop End
How our care home hog roast works in Mop End
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We’re frequently asked to cater families’ days and thank-you meals for staff, with halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes.
Rural homes around Mop End may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Request thin slices
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In summer, Mop End has 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.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
