About our care home hog roast in Sandhurst
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We’re frequently asked to cater thank-you meals for staff and day centre get-togethers, serving thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and apple sauce.
Rural care homes near Sandhurst can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Sandhurst
Is Sandhurst close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Is Sandhurst too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late May in Sandhurst has light until about 8:45pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
