How our care home hog roast works in Moss End
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Moss End suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. We’re frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and seasonal events, with roast potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Rural homes around Moss 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.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
