Care home hog roast for Wood Street Village
Care home hog roast in Wood Street Village, carved to order
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. For open days and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Country homes near Wood Street Village frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
