How our care home hog roast works in North Cheam
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. Typical bookings include garden fêtes and retirement housing events, serving thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Around North Cheam, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours.

The menu, dish by dish

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
North Cheam questions
Could you cook in Nonsuch Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to North Cheam?
The closest is West Sutton station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
