How our care home hog roast works in Perry
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Popular choices include roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for home anniversaries and family days with visitors.
Near Perry, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork

Perry: care homes and access
Perry is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. From village halls to gardens and fields, care home events around Perry suit a hog roast. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Perry to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).

We bring hog roasts to care home events all over the CT3 postcode area and the streets around it.

Perry questions
Is Perry close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Perry?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Do you cover Perry?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Perry and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

How the day works

- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
