Longlands questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Longlands?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Longlands?
New Eltham station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Many homes make it a family day.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.

The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-September sunset in Longlands is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
