How our care home hog roast works in Sidlesham Common
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. We are often asked to cater day centre events and retirement housing events, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Country homes near Sidlesham Common often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls

- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In summer, Sidlesham Common has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
