Care home hog roast in Edenbridge, carved to order
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us, served between shifts. We’re frequently asked to cater home anniversaries and day centre get-togethers, with apple sauce, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
Smaller homes around Edenbridge may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Edenbridge: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Edenbridge close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll give your team the information they need.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you cover Edenbridge?
Yes, Edenbridge is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
For event organisers in Edenbridge
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Edenbridge, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- We bring everything to cook and serve
