How our care home hog roast works in Erith
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. Popular choices include roast potatoes, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for residents’ themed days and retirement community days.
In Erith, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.

Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Someone to meet us
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Away from opening windows
As a London location, Erith is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, the light in Erith goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
