Care home hog roast for your care home event in Stone
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and anniversaries of the home, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes and more.
Near Stone, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In summer, Stone has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
