About our care home hog roast in Kidbrooke
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and home anniversaries, with roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
In Kidbrooke, we cook in the home’s garden or car park. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Questions from Kidbrooke
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kidbrooke?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Eltham Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you provide allergen information?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
Can you be flexible on serving time?

Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will give your team the information they need.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A spot that keeps access clear
As a London location, Kidbrooke 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
