Care home hog roast for Springvale
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Springvale
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Popular choices include roast potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and milestone days for the home.
For a care home in a place like Springvale, a hog roast day brings a sense of occasion. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September sunset in Springvale is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
