How our care home hog roast works in Beddington
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. We’re often asked to cater care home summer fairs and home anniversaries, with apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
Care homes in Beddington frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
How the day works

- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Waddon station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
