How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Welling, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to 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.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
