Care home hog roast in Sheerness, slow-roasted on site
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us. We are often asked to cater care home summer fairs and day centre get-togethers, serving roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For a care home in a place like Sheerness, a hog roast is a real event for residents. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from the home
- A spot that keeps access clear
- A level outdoor area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
