Care home hog roast for Wooburn Common
About our care home hog roast in Wooburn Common
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We are often asked to cater summer fêtes and families’ days, serving thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
Rural homes around Wooburn Common may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Chicken can be added.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Clear of bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
