About our care home hog roast in Greenwich
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Whether it is open days and themed days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork for your residents.
Care homes in Greenwich often have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- A level outdoor area
Greenwich 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Roast pork, carved
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- New potatoes
- Roast potatoes
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
