How our care home hog roast works in Cheam
Retirement housing and day centres around Cheam book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re often booked for thank-you meals for staff and sheltered housing gatherings.
Around Cheam, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Cheam, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
