Care home hog roast for your care home event in Norbury
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Typical bookings include sheltered housing gatherings and milestone days for the home, serving new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Care homes in Norbury frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Here’s what affects the price:

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices

FAQs for Norbury
What if our house in Norbury has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Norbury?
The closest is Norbury station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Winter afternoons in Norbury are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
