About our care home hog roast in East Wickham
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 anniversaries of the home and residents’ themed days, serving new potatoes, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
In East Wickham, we cook in the home’s garden or car park, as agreed with the manager. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A named contact on the day
- Away from emergency routes
East Wickham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
