How our care home hog roast works in Chingford

In Chingford, we cook in the home’s garden or car park. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Chicken can be added.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- Travel to Chingford
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Chingford
What if our house in Chingford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Why choose a hog roast in Chingford?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
