About our care home hog roast in North Leigh
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for days for relatives and anniversaries of the home.
Rural homes around North Leigh may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Plan separately for halal if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
For event organisers in North Leigh
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In late May, sunset in North Leigh is about 9:00pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
