Care home hog roast for your care home event in Woodmansterne
You know your residents best, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. We’re frequently asked to cater themed days and staff thank-you lunches, serving thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and new potatoes.
Smaller homes around Woodmansterne may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
