Care home hog roast for your care home event in Upper Halliford
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Popular choices include roast potatoes, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater families’ days and retirement community days.
Rural care homes near Upper Halliford can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late May in Upper Halliford has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
