Care home hog roast in Addington, carved to order
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. For care home summer fairs and open days, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
For a care home in Addington, a corner of the garden or car park generally works, as agreed with the manager. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Where the roaster can go in Addington
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A named contact on the day
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
Addington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
