How our care home hog roast works in Charlton
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. For sheltered housing gatherings and milestone days for the home, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and roast potatoes for your residents.
Smaller homes around Charlton may only have a modest garden, so send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Count residents who need an alternative
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Charlton
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

- Roughly how many people

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
How the day works
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. In late May, sunset in Charlton is about 9:00pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
