How our care home hog roast works in Woolton Hill
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We are frequently asked to cater milestone days for the home and thank-you meals for staff, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Country homes near Woolton Hill often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer hog roast day in Woolton Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
