Care home hog roast in Totteridge
How our care home hog roast works in Totteridge
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for seasonal events and open days.
For a care home in Totteridge, a corner of the garden or car park usually works, as agreed with the manager. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Totteridge, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Ask for a quote

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.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
