Care home hog roast for your care home event in Sevenoaks
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement community days and staff appreciation days.
Day centres and sheltered housing in Sevenoaks frequently have a communal garden, which suits a hog roast lunch. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

What about residents who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Where the roaster can go in Sevenoaks
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Someone to meet us
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, the light in Sevenoaks goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
