About our care home hog roast in Eltham
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. For staff appreciation days and summer fêtes, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes and more.
London care homes around Eltham often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Where the roaster can go in Eltham
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A named contact on the day
Eltham 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, we take the cooking off your team. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Questions from Eltham
Which station is closest to Eltham?
Eltham has its own station: Mottingham station.
Can you do a hog roast in Horn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What time do you serve?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will plan the roast around it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
