Care home hog roast for Bickley
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In late May, sunset in Bickley is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Bickley: your questions answered
What if our house in Bickley has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Bickley?
Yes, Bickley is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates are frequently easier for residents.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact on the day
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Away from opening windows
Bickley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
