Care home hog roast for your care home event in Anerley

What else we do in Anerley
For event organisers in Anerley
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
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. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Anerley hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Planning the cooking spot

- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A level spot in the garden or car park
Anerley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Step by step

- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
