How our care home hog roast works in South Ruislip
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for milestone days for the home and garden fêtes.

How it works

- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
