Care home hog roast in Plummers Plain, slow-roasted on site
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We are often asked to cater residents’ themed days and anniversaries of the home, with roast potatoes, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
For a care home near Plummers Plain, tell us about lanes and the drive. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, the light in Plummers Plain goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
