Care home hog roast in Seabrook, slow-roasted on site
Serving times fit around the home’s day, lunch or mid-afternoon. Typical bookings include day centre lunches and families’ days, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Country homes near Seabrook often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Common questions in Seabrook
Could you cook in Oaklands Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What about texture-modified diets?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we will work alongside your kitchen.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

Planning the cooking spot

- Away from emergency routes
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
