Care home hog roast for your care home event in Salehurst
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. For open days and residents’ themed days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Rural care homes near Salehurst can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

Salehurst questions
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Salehurst?
Robertsbridge station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Working with your venue

The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Salehurst, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
