Care home hog roast for Wallington
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in Wallington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Common questions in Wallington
Could you cook in Carshalton 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 if our house in Wallington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
