Care home hog roast for Denmark Hill
How our care home hog roast works in Denmark Hill
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We are often asked to cater retirement housing events and open days, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
In Denmark Hill, care homes typically have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Sign-off from management
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
As a London location, Denmark Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
