About our care home hog roast in Mitcham
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for residents’ themed days and garden fêtes.
Care homes in Mitcham frequently have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Mitcham
What’s the nearest station to Mitcham?
The closest is Mitcham Eastfields station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Mitcham?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Serving on plates is often easier.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In summer, Mitcham has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
