Care home hog roast in Rainham, carved to order
For care homes in Rainham, a hog roast day is a real occasion. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. Popular choices include apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for residents’ themed days and thank-you meals for staff.
In Rainham, care homes usually have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Where the roaster can go in Rainham

- Away from opening windows

- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
As a London location, Rainham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
