About our care home hog roast in Ravenstone
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For staff appreciation days and open days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and new potatoes.
Near Ravenstone, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
