About our care home hog roast in Northington
You know your residents best, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. Whether it’s day centre get-togethers and families’ days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
Rural care homes near Northington can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In summer, Northington has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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 leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count families and staff too
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
