About our care home hog roast in College Park
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Whether it’s home anniversaries and community open days, we can cook roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a care home in College Park, a corner of the garden or car park normally 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.

Common questions in College Park
Which station is closest to College Park?
College Park has its own station: Willesden Junction station.
Could you cook in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you serve at lunch?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
Can you serve on plates?
We will serve however suits your residents.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A named contact on the day
- Away from opening windows
- Approval from the home
As a London location, College Park 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 picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast potatoes
- Salads
- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast pork, carved
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal is not offered
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
A hog roast compared with other options

What affects the price in College Park
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
