How our care home hog roast works in Homerton
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. Typical bookings include garden fêtes and sheltered housing gatherings, serving thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a care home in Homerton, a corner of the garden or car park typically works. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer hog roast day in Homerton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
