About our care home hog roast in Whiteley Bank
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and anniversaries of the home, with thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
Rural homes around Whiteley Bank may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter afternoons in Whiteley Bank are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
