Your questions about a hog roast day in Charing Cross
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Charing Cross?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll give your team the information they need.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
About our care home hog roast in Charing Cross
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement community days and summer fêtes.
London care homes around Charing Cross often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What affects the price in Charing Cross
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Send us the date, the address or W1F postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book our hog roast in Charing Cross

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, the light in Charing Cross goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
