How our care home hog roast works in Malden Rushett
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. We are frequently asked to cater day centre events and milestone days for the home, serving rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes.
In Malden Rushett, we cook in the home’s garden or car park. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Malden Rushett
Could you cook in Claygate Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you serve at lunch?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
Can you cater in Malden Rushett?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Malden Rushett and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
