A hog roast near Hither Green
Care home hog roast in Hither Green, slow-roasted on site
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For families’ days and garden fêtes, we can cook halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce.
For a care home in Hither Green, a corner of the garden or car park generally works. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What’s the nearest station to Hither Green?
Hither Green station, in Hither Green itself.
How soon do you get booked up?

Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In summer, Hither Green has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A named contact on the day
Hither Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
