Care home hog roast for Satmar
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In summer, Satmar has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us a contact number for the day

Care home hog roast for your care home event in Satmar
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. Whether it is care home summer fairs and home anniversaries, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Satmar, access matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Satmar: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Satmar?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in East Cliff and Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided.
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.

- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
