Care home hog roast in Teynham, slow-roasted on site
Retirement housing and day centres around Teynham book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. We’re frequently asked to cater milestone days for the home and themed days, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
Around Teynham, some homes have limited outdoor space, so we check the space with photos first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Request thin slices
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
