A hog roast near West Yoke
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in West Yoke, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Care home hog roast in West Yoke, slow-roasted on site
You know your residents best, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. For day centre events and care home summer fairs, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork and more.
At a rural home near West Yoke, access matters. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
