How our care home hog roast works in Wash Common
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. On the menu are apple sauce, new potatoes and roast potatoes, and we are frequently booked for garden fêtes and staff thank-you lunches.
Around Wash Common, homes often have a garden and drive. Let us know about the way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Always outside, in a spot you approve.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Approval from the home
- A level outdoor area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Count families and staff too
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
