About our care home hog roast in Stoughton
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. Whether it is day centre get-togethers and garden fêtes, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken and more.
Smaller homes around Stoughton may only have a modest garden, so send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September sunset in Stoughton is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site 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.
