Looking after everyone
Some residents will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your care home event. In late May, sunset in Sheffield Bottom is about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
