About our care home hog roast in Passfield
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for anniversaries of the home and staff thank-you lunches.
Rural care homes near Passfield can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Passfield
Is Passfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do soft food?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you come to Passfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Passfield and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
What time do you serve?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, the light in Passfield goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
