About our care home hog roast in Canary Wharf
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and themed days, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and new potatoes.
Around Canary Wharf, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Canary Wharf 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer hog roast day in Canary Wharf, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
