Care home hog roast for your care home event in St Giles
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. We’re often asked to cater home anniversaries and open afternoons, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and new potatoes.
Around St Giles, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We clear away quietly.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, the light in St Giles goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
