Care home hog roast in Hooley, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre get-togethers and staff appreciation days.
Around Hooley, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Wherever your care home event is in CR5 and RH1, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Church Lane Avenue, Church Lane Drive and Brighton Road, and a care home event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

- Away from emergency routes
As a London location, Hooley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Winter afternoons in Hooley are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
