Book a hog roast in Warlingham
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In summer, Warlingham has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Care home hog roast in Warlingham, slow-roasted on site
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. On the menu are roast potatoes, apple sauce and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for family days with visitors and summer fêtes.
Around Warlingham, some homes have limited outdoor space, so we check the space with photos first. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
