Care home hog roast in Newington Green, slow-roasted on site

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Winter afternoons in Newington Green are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
