Care home hog roast in Richmond, carved to order
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. Whether it’s community open days and milestone days for the home, we can cook rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
Around Richmond, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Richmond
Could you cook in Terrace and Buccleuch Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Richmond?
Richmond station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
