Care home hog roast for your care home event in Bromley
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for sheltered housing gatherings and staff appreciation days.
Around Bromley, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer hog roast day in Bromley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your residents

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Away from emergency routes
- Flat ground in the grounds
Bromley 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.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
A hog roast can be part of a wider event, such as a singer or a garden fête. 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.
Why Bromley hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
For event organisers in Bromley
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Bromley
Could you cook in Bob's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Bromley has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
