How our care home hog roast works in Redbridge
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us. For family days with visitors and home anniversaries, we can cook apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers and more.
For a care home in Redbridge, a corner of the garden or car park generally works, as agreed with the manager. 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.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Someone to meet us
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
As a London location, Redbridge 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.

A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
