How our care home hog roast works in Goodmayes
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. For milestone days for the home and garden fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
Care homes in Goodmayes often have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level outdoor area
- Someone to meet us
- Clear of bedroom windows
As a London location, Goodmayes 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 before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.

For planners, venues and organisers

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter afternoons in Goodmayes are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
