Care home hog roast for your care home event in Sevenoaks Weald
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For seasonal events and family days with visitors, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Rural homes around Sevenoaks Weald may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
