Care home hog roast in Sleaford, slow-roasted on site
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes. Popular choices include apple sauce, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re often booked for staff thank-you lunches and home anniversaries.
For a care home near Sleaford, tell us about lanes and the drive. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count families and staff too
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

Do you come out to small places like Sleaford?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
