In Sarisbury, care homes, a hog roast day brings a sense of occasion. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in Sarisbury, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.

- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Chicken can be added.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
