How our care home hog roast works in Elmers End
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Whether it is themed days and day centre events, we can cook new potatoes, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
London care homes around Elmers End frequently sit on busy streets with tight access, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

What the cooking area needs

- Approval from the home
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Clear of bedroom windows
Elmers End 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be part of a wider event. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Elmers End hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late May in Elmers End has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your residents

- Which meats and sides you choose
