About our care home hog roast in Tooting
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. For thank-you meals for staff and day centre get-togethers, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
In Tooting, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September sunset in Tooting is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Someone to meet us
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
Tooting 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.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day

FAQs for Tooting
What if our house in Tooting has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Wandle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What time do you serve?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.
Can you carve thinly?
We’ll serve however suits your residents.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
