Care home hog roast for Chessington
Care home hog roast in Chessington, slow-roasted on site
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For staff thank-you lunches and day centre lunches, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a care home in Chessington, a corner of the garden or car park normally works. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter afternoons in Chessington are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact on the day
- Sign-off from management
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
Chessington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
