Care home hog roast in Pell Green, carved to order

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. Whether it is day centre lunches and open days, we will put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.

Rural care homes near Pell Green can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

Wadhurst station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.

How far is Pell Green from London?

Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

How do we prepare?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.

Can you roast in the rain?

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Do you cook in the kitchen?

In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.

How do you handle allergies?

We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Stuffing usually contains gluten

Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.

A hog roast compared with other options

Away from opening windows
A spot that keeps access clear
Seating for residents

How it works

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In summer, Pell Green has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
