How our care home hog roast works in Trumps Green
For care homes in Trumps Green, a hog roast day is a real occasion. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. On the menu are new potatoes, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for themed days and family days with visitors.
Rural care homes near Trumps Green can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. 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.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count families and staff too
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Ask about china.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
