Care home hog roast in Southfields, carved to order
In Southfields, care homes book us for fêtes, open days and family days, bringing everyone together over a meal. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for retirement community days and summer fêtes.
Around Southfields, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What affects the price in Southfields
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Southfields
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By late September, the light in Southfields goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day

Questions from Southfields
Could you cook in King George's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Southfields has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We will serve however suits your residents.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
