What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Camberwell
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Typical bookings include families’ days and summer fêtes, with apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork.
In Camberwell, care homes usually have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Camberwell
Could you cook in Brunswick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Camberwell?
Camberwell has its own station: Denmark Hill station.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
What allergens are in the food?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A spot that keeps access clear
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Camberwell is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
