About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Care home hog roast in Oakshott, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and seasonal events, with rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce.
For a care home near Oakshott, tell us about lanes and the drive. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In late May, sunset in Oakshott is about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
