Care home hog roast for Wimbledon
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Wimbledon
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We serve halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for day centre lunches and residents’ themed days.
For a care home in Wimbledon, a corner of the garden or car park generally works. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In summer, Wimbledon has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
