Care home hog roast in Paulsgrove, carved to order
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for sheltered housing gatherings and thank-you meals for staff.
Smaller homes around Paulsgrove may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Paulsgrove, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
