Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
Do you provide allergen information?
Allergen details are provided.
Can you serve at lunch?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Littleton Common, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
