About our care home hog roast in Waterbeach
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. Whether it’s open days and residents’ themed days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork and more.
For a care home near Waterbeach, tell us about lanes and the drive. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.

A hog roast compared with other options
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See our pricing or the cost guide.
