About our care home hog roast in Shanklin Village
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Shanklin Village suit a hog roast, bringing everyone together over a meal. For garden fêtes and retirement community days, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes and more.
Around Shanklin Village, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.

In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
