About our care home hog roast in Stonestreet Green
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For anniversaries of the home and day centre events, we can cook roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your residents.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
We clear away quietly.
Serving on plates is often easier.
