Care home hog roast in Charlton, carved to order
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Charlton suit a hog roast, bringing everyone together over a meal. Whether it’s summer fêtes and milestone days for the home, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
In Charlton, care homes typically have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late May in Charlton has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- 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.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
