Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

For care home events in W1U, W1H and W2, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many residents.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer hog roast day in Connaught Village, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

- The serving time and how long we are on site

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Questions from Connaught Village
Could you cook in Hyde Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Connaught Village?
London Paddington station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Diets, allergies and alternatives

Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A level outdoor area
Connaught Village is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
