About our care home hog roast in New Cross
Serving times fit around the home’s day, lunch or mid-afternoon. We are often asked to cater day centre lunches and sheltered housing gatherings, with rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
Around New Cross, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

FAQs for New Cross
Could you cook in Fordham Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in New Cross has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In late May, sunset in New Cross is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.

Why choose a hog roast in New Cross?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents
See how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request thin slices
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A named contact on the day
As a London location, New Cross is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
