- Planned to your running order
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents
- An itemised quote

Care home hog roast in Risinghurst, carved to order
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 serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and we are frequently booked for day centre lunches and open days.
Care homes around Risinghurst are often in converted houses with gardens. Tell us about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for Risinghurst
Can you do a hog roast in Stansfeld Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Risinghurst close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. Winter afternoons in Risinghurst are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking 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
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
China crockery is available on request.
