Care home hog roast in Pested, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We are frequently asked to cater family days with visitors and milestone days for the home, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
For a care home near Pested, tell us about lanes and the drive. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Why choose a hog roast in Pested?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In summer, Pested has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
