Care home hog roast in Weald, slow-roasted on site
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. Typical bookings include retirement community days and family days with visitors, serving new potatoes, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
Rural homes around Weald may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September sunset in Weald is about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
