How our care home hog roast works in Peaks Hill
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include day centre lunches and families’ days, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
Care homes in Peaks Hill frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for Peaks Hill
What if our house in Peaks Hill has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Peaks Hill?
Purley station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We will serve however suits your residents.
Can visitors eat too?
Many homes make it a family day.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Serving on plates is often easier.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Winter afternoons in Peaks Hill are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your residents
