About our care home hog roast in Pamber Green
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include day centre events and community open days, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce.

Pamber Green: your questions answered
Is Pamber Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Pamber Green close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter afternoons in Pamber Green are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
