About our care home hog roast in Westerham
Retirement housing and day centres around Westerham book hog roast days too, for themed days and gatherings. We serve apple sauce, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for day centre events and milestone days for the home.
For a care home in Westerham, a corner of the garden or car park generally works. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Approval from the home
As a London location, Westerham 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, it’s easier for everyone to enjoy. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Our staff serve and clear

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Halal is not offered
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Serving on plates is often easier.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Late May in Westerham has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
