How our care home hog roast works in Fetcham
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. For staff thank-you lunches and sheltered housing gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, halloumi skewers and new potatoes and more.
Around Fetcham, some homes have limited outdoor space, so send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late May in Fetcham has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
