Care home hog roast in West Hendred, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and home anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For a care home near West Hendred, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In summer, West Hendred has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
