Care home hog roast for your care home event in Rotherhithe
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Popular choices include apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes, and we are frequently booked for garden fêtes and thank-you meals for staff.
Around Rotherhithe, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Winter afternoons in Rotherhithe are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
