How our care home hog roast works in Lower Green
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. On the menu are apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater day centre get-togethers and care home summer fairs.
At a rural home near Lower Green, access matters. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
For event organisers in Lower Green
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer hog roast day in Lower Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

Is Lower Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you cater in Lower Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Lower Green and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
