About our care home hog roast in Lee
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Typical bookings include seasonal events and milestone days for the home, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
London care homes around Lee often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from the home
- A level outdoor area
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
As a London location, Lee 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’ll advise before you book.
