A hog roast near Wivelsfield
Care home hog roast in Wivelsfield, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For community open days and home anniversaries, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers and more.
At a rural home near Wivelsfield, access matters. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
