About our care home hog roast in Newtimber
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. On the menu are roast potatoes, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater community open days and day centre events.
Rural homes around Newtimber may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where will the roaster go?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

- A named contact on the day
