About our care home hog roast in Luxted
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. We’re often asked to cater summer fêtes and themed days, with thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Care homes in Luxted frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A named contact on the day
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A spot that keeps access clear
As a London location, Luxted is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What else we do in Luxted
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late May in Luxted has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
