How our care home hog roast works in New Eltham
Serving times fit around the home’s day, lunch or mid-afternoon. Popular choices include apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement housing events and care home summer fairs.
Care homes in New Eltham often have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
How we price a hog roast day
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

What’s the nearest station to New Eltham?

Can you do a hog roast in Elmstead Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you come to New Eltham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including New Eltham and Greater London. Send us the address for a 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.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Winter afternoons in New Eltham are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

How to get a price
Every care home event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from opening windows
As a London location, New Eltham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
