About our care home hog roast in Southwark
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and themed days, serving new potatoes, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
In Southwark, care homes normally have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. 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.

The process
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. In Southwark, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Southwark: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Little Dorrit's Playground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Southwark?
The closest is Elephant & Castle station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you provide allergen information?
You will get allergen details for everything. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Can you cater in Southwark?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Southwark and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates are often easier for residents.
For event organisers in Southwark
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
