Care home hog roast for your care home event in Wannock
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We’re often asked to cater days for relatives and day centre lunches, with thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
Near Wannock, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
