About our care home hog roast in Wyck

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

The process

- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
