Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Chicken can be added.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Sign-off from management

The process
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. For a summer hog roast day in Privett, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- 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.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
