Care home hog roast in Surrey Canal
About our care home hog roast in Surrey Canal
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater residents’ themed days and home anniversaries.
For a care home in Surrey Canal, a corner of the garden or car park generally works, as agreed with the manager. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

Questions from Surrey Canal
Could you cook in Deptford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Surrey Canal?
Surrey Canal has its own station: South Bermondsey station.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
What time do you serve?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A level outdoor area
- An activities lead or manager as contact
As a London location, Surrey Canal is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Surrey Canal is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

A hog roast compared with other options
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, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
