Slow-roasted pork in Scaynes Hill
Care home hog roast in Scaynes Hill, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We serve roast potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and home anniversaries.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Seating for residents
- An activities lead or manager as contact
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
