Care home hog roast in Bellingham, slow-roasted on site
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. We’re often asked to cater open days and summer fêtes, serving apple sauce, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In Bellingham, care homes typically have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Planning a hog roast day in Bellingham
Bellingham is about 2 miles north of Beckenham, in Greater London. Our roaster is a regular sight at care home events around Bellingham, from gardens to fields. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Bellingham to London (about 6 miles away).
Bellingham is on or near the A2218, so access for our equipment is simple. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Dunstan, is a good occasion for a hog roast.
This part of Greater London takes in SE6, SE26 and SE23, and we can cater your care home event anywhere in it. That could mean a care home event in a garden on Oslac Road, Orford Road and Aitken Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Bellingham is on the A2218, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside Bellingham, we also cover Southend (1 mile north), Bell Green (1 mile west), Catford (1 mile north-east), Perry Vale (1 mile west) and Sydenham (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (6 miles north-west), City of Westminster (8 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (9 miles north-west), St Pancras (8 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include University Hospital Lewisham (1.6 miles north) and Lewisham Shopping Centre (2.2 miles north). Within reach you will find Downham Woodland Walk and Knight's Hill.
- Nearby schools include Sedgehill School (0.6 miles south) and Allenby Tutorial Trust (1.3 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Fellowship Inn (less than half a mile north-east)
- Local facilities include Municipal Borough of Bromley (2.8 miles south-east)
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-September sunset in Bellingham is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
