London care homes around Peckham often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Where the roaster can go in Peckham
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
Peckham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Peckham
Could you cook in Brimmington Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Peckham?
Peckham has its own station: Queens Road Peckham station.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Chicken can be added.
Care home hog roasts in Peckham
Peckham is about 2 miles south-east of London, in Greater London. Care home events in Peckham are part of our patch. Peckham is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater.
Bellenden Road Nature Garden is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. If your residents have links with All Saints Church, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a hog roast.
For care home events in SE15, SE14 and SE5, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean a care home event in a garden on Rye Lane, Relf Road and Mona Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. You will find Peckham on the A2215, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater care home events include Nunhead (1 mile south-east), Telegraph Hill (1 mile south-east), South Bermondsey (1 mile north), Surrey Canal (1 mile north-east) and East Dulwich (1 mile south-west).

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book our hog roast in Peckham
- Timed around your day
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
Take a look at how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer hog roast day in Peckham, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
