How our care home hog roast works in The Hyde
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. We’re often asked to cater care home summer fairs and seasonal events, serving thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
In The Hyde, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer hog roast day in The Hyde, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
