Care home hog roast in Botany Bay, carved to order
You know your residents best, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. We serve thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater seasonal events and anniversaries of the home.
In Botany Bay, care homes usually have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level outdoor area
- Clear of bedroom windows
Botany Bay 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late May in Botany Bay has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe 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.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- How many people are eating
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
For event organisers in Botany Bay
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.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Serving and clearing done for you
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
