Care home hog roast for Cowley
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter afternoons in Cowley are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Cowley: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cowley?

Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will share allergen and menu details.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A spot that keeps access clear
As a London location, Cowley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
