A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. 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.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Care home hog roast in West Studdal, carved to order

At a rural home near West Studdal, access matters so we can plan our route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer hog roast day in West Studdal, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- 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.
