Care home hog roast for Clapham Junction
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. By late September, the light in Clapham Junction goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

How our care home hog roast works in Clapham Junction
Serving times fit around the home’s day, lunch or mid-afternoon. We’re frequently asked to cater sheltered housing gatherings and open afternoons, serving halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes.
For a care home in Clapham Junction, a corner of the garden or car park generally works. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Clapham Junction: your questions answered
Could you cook in Imperial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Clapham Junction?
Clapham Junction has its own station: Clapham Junction station.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Away from opening windows
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground in the grounds
As a London location, Clapham Junction is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
