Care home hog roast in Snodland, carved to order
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. On the menu are apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for care home summer fairs and day centre events.
Smaller homes around Snodland may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-September sunset in Snodland is about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
- Count residents who need an alternative
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
