Care home hog roast in Charlton
How our care home hog roast works in Charlton
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include retirement housing events and residents’ themed days, with new potatoes, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
Rural care homes near Charlton can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your care home event. In summer, Charlton has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Charlton: your questions answered
Is Charlton close to London?

Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What allergens are in the food?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
What time do you serve?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A level spot in the garden or car park

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
