Care home hog roast in Pease Pottage, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include days for relatives and home anniversaries, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Smaller homes around Pease Pottage may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Pease Pottage, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, 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.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
