How our care home hog roast works in Sutton Common
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. For milestone days for the home and retirement community days, we can cook apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken for your residents.
Care homes in Sutton Common often have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
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. Late-September sunset in Sutton Common is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

- A level spot in the garden or car park

- Someone to meet us
Sutton Common is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:

We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
