About our care home hog roast in Sutton Green
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Typical bookings include residents’ themed days and retirement community days, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
Rural care homes near Sutton Green can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Sutton Green, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
