Care home hog roast in Walberton, carved to order
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater seasonal events and milestone days for the home.
Rural homes around Walberton may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In summer, Walberton has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
How to get a price

- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

The menu, dish by dish
