Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Ask about china.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.

It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
