Care home hog roast in Welborne, carved to order
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Popular choices include roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement housing events and family days with visitors.
Rural care homes near Welborne can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Why choose a hog roast in Welborne?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Timed around your day

- No surprises: everything in writing

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Request thin slices
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September sunset in Welborne is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.

- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.

Preparing for the day
