Care home hog roast in Brockley, slow-roasted on site
Retirement housing and day centres around Brockley book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. We’re frequently asked to cater day centre lunches and days for relatives, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Sign-off from management
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Brockley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Brockley questions
Could you cook in Blythe Hill Fields?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Brockley?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What allergens are in the food?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will give your team the information they need.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer hog roast day in Brockley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
